As a citizen, you have a duty to ask what is true and what is false.

We all have two lives. The second one starts when we realize that we only have one

I truly think any preparation you do only helps and adds dimension and complexity to the work [as an actor].

I am no saviour. I’m absolutely the last person on the planet who can practically help. I don’t know how to make the different types of therapeutic feeding milk. I’m no chemist. I’m no doctor. I’m no engineer. I can’t manufacture polio vaccines or organise their transportation to the health centres in Saramoussayah or Bissikirima. I can’t build schools, or design drainage systems. I can’t provide the women and children of Mandiana with water.All I can do now is help make people aware of what is happening, of what they are doing. That is all that I can do. For now.

The dream is to keep surprising yourself, never mind the audience.

For myself, for a long time... maybe I felt inauthentic or something, I felt like my voice wasn't worth hearing, and I think everyone's voice is worth hearing. So if you've got something to say, say it from the rooftops.

Truth in drama is elusive. You never quite find it, but the search for it is compulsive.
