I like hard work. I like putting the effort towards it and then being able to look at it and go, "All right, I did that."

It's pretty impossible to be a South African and not have been personally affected by HIV or AIDS.

My job as an actor, and the part of my job that I love is the transforming-and-becoming aspect of it, and so it doesn't become about me anymore.

We value men more than women... straight love more than gay love... white skin more than black skin... and adults more than adolescents.

I think there is a part of me that's always a little bit like, "Why would I torture myself? Just in case you forgot how big the shoes are you're walking in, take a look again"

I think there is a great quote - and I feel horrible that I don't know who said this - but it was a great quote, it says, "The only difference between all of us are the ones who are loved and the ones who are not."

One thing can make many other things happen.
