She said,

"I aspired to become an actress from childhood. I loved acting so I did not learn any trade or craft. I couldn't concentrate on having my own kids because I feared it would affect my acting career."

Auntie Bee added that despite being in the Ghanaian movie industry for over 40 years, she only gained fame from her acting gig and did not have a single property to her name.

She stated,

"I only got fame from acting. People know me because of my movies. I did not marry because of my acting career. I only made a little money to fend for myself and my family. Acting gave me nothing."

The actress regretted not focusing on learning other crafts, stating that if she got another chance, she would not repeat the mistakes she made in her life.
