Most of the people in Ghana wouldn't know me as an actress. They'd know me for my work at the U.N.

Visiting old haunts is hard on memory. Things shrink, change, and disappear.

I guess I was an early method actress. I would go to a quiet part of the sound stage with my mother. I wouldn't think of anything sad, I would just make my mind a blank. In a minute I could cry.

Intentions often melt in the face of unexpected opportunity.

Time is money. Wasted time means wasted money means trouble.

I don’t like to do negatives. There are always pluses to things.

Nothing crushes freedom as substantially as a tank.
