Nobody's tried to touch my hair in like, in decades.

Well, I think by any expectation South Africa has come a tremendously long way. We've seen a society that many people thought couldn't withstand a peaceful transition to democracy without a great deal of violence, in fact, make that transition and do it in relative peace and security.

I have a range, and I'd much rather do things the nice way than the hard way, but sometimes you have to use all the tools at your disposal.

It may not be what you would've chosen, but we all have a responsibility to be active citizens and shape our system and our future.

Since I've had a career, my hair has been more or less professional.

The notion that I had become a political lightning rod was painful for me to experience.

What I would say about me is: What you see is what I get.
