Nelson Mandela

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.

Without education, your children can never really meet the challenges they will face. So it's very important to give children education and explain that they should play a role for their country.

There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.

Ever since I watched 'Roots,' I've dreamed of tracing my African ancestry and helping other people do the same.

The flaw of an amateur is to assume what's in our head is what's on the page.

The blessing that this film business has given me is that when I walk into a school I automatically have everyone's attention. They want to hear what the guy from 'Con Air' and 'Desperado' has to say.
