My father used to tell me about how musicians don't have respect from people and he was afraid about my future.

Politics is politics; art is art. If you play a political role, you have to stop being an artist.

In politics, sometimes you have to lie, or you make a promise that you cannot keep.

I don't really see myself as an actor.

Africa is the future.

I love meeting interesting people and doing things with them.

I don't want to see that two-tier Senegal, that two-tier Africa, when you have those at the top and those at the bottom, people who are hungry, people who do not have enough to eat.
