Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o stars in The Wild Robot as a robot on a future Earth who’s left shipwrecked on an uninhabited island.

Nyong'o talks about her voice performance on this week 's Little Gold Men .

After winning an Oscar exactly a decade ago for her debut film role in 12 Years a Slave, she's proved that playing by your own rules pays off.

The hardest thing to adjust to was the timeline for this project, because it's happening over a span of years .

The most rewarding way to approach the work was with openness, complete openness.

I would dive deep, investigate, challenge, propose, experiment, workshop, and then I would leave feeling exhilarated by the process.

The actress says she is craving roles that are a little lighter in nature.

She says the industry wasn’t ready for her to play lead roles after her Oscar win.

The way she chooses stories is first and foremost, am I interested enough in this story to read it over and over again?.
