“When I was young, I had a big problem with warts. It started with one on the side of my little finger.”

I regret starting drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes and joining Facebook.

There is always the fear of unknown – racism comes from people when they don’t know something, they are strangers to the other side.

The episode of The Fresh Prince in Bel-Air when Will Smith’s father disses him. That’s sadder than when Mufasa died.

What is the problem with the advertising industry is they’re still, for me, what I call in Africa is the colonial mind of white men, because the black person or the other colour is out of the line. They’re not good for this sort of purpose.

Money brings freedom-freedom to buy what you want , and freedom to do what you want with your time. Money allows you to enjoy the finer things in life as well as giving you the opportunity to help others have the necessities in life.

Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die.
