Kate Smith

I shall always respect the composer. If I embellish, it is his idea I am embellishing.

Because of my voice, speaking words which had been carefully chosen, women had used money they had set aside for other purposes to buy war bonds.

I have always examined closely the motives of any group for which I am asked to raise money.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.

In early 1993, when I was 12, I was separated from my family as the Sierra Leone civil war, which began two years earlier, came into my life.

People mature at different stages and I feel I'm learning a lot.
