I lived in a world where I didn't share the love for my stepfather that my mother shared for him. She married him.

I became a chameleon. My color didn't change. But I could change your perception of my color.

If you look at this election, I feel like Donald Trump was speaking a different language to Hillary Clinton.

I've just come to realize I'm going to share my point of view. Some people won't like me for it. Some people will. I will work every day to be as honest as I can because I do believe that we're all trying to get to the same place. But various people have tricked us into believing that we are not. And I see America going into that space.

America is the one place in the world where I just innately understood [that] South Africa and the United States of America have a very similar history. It's different timelines, but the directions we've taken and the consequences - dealing with the aftermath of what we consider to be democracy, and realizing that freedom is just the beginning of the conversation, that's something I've learned.

In an American context, let's say gay rights or marriage policy - that's a progressive thing. I understand that in an American context.

The police didn't afford you a phone call. You just disappeared for a while. And what was scary was we lived in a state where some people disappeared forever.
