She made quite a name for herself thanks to her performance in "12 Years a Slave" and now Lupita Nyong'o opens up about her new fame in the January 2014 issue of DuJour magazine.

On her rise to fame:
"My life changed about three weeks ago. That's when my schedule went from nil to this. Lots of people come up and touch my back and want to give me a hug. At this point, it's not too crazy. I let them hug me."
On her audition for "12 Years a Slave"
"When I learned Steve McQueen was directing and Brad Pitt was producing, I thought, 'Well, this is huge.' I had no expectation of getting the role at all; it was just too out there for me to think I had a chance. So I approached the audition like a rehearsal. It was my chance to have that role for 10 minutes, and I owned it. Then I got the part and the panic began."
On her future in acting:
"I would love to have a career that's governed by the material; I always want to be part of stories that I feel are worthwhile. And they don't all have to be as heavy as '12 Years a Slave.' I do my best work when I feel conviction to say something through the character I play. Always I want to have integrity and not compromise that."
