The moment you have protected an individual, you have protected society.

The power which establishes a state is violence; the power which maintains it is violence; the power which eventually overthrows it is violence.

This great son of the world, Madiba, showed us the way. Whether you are white, black yellow or brown you are all God's children, come together, work together and God will show you the way.

People see him as a hero. Not just in Zimbabwe or here in Zambia but across the whole of southern Africa. It's no good demonising Robert Mugabe.

The inability of those in power to still the voices of their own consciences is the great force leading to change.

Westerners have aggressive problem-solving minds; Africans experience people.

Passive resistance is a sport for gentleman (and ladies)-just like the pursuit of war, a heroic enterprise for the ruling classes but a grievous burden on the rest.

War is just like bush-clearing-the moment you stop, the jungle comes back even thicker, but for a little while you can plant and grow a crop in the ground you have won at such a terrible cost.

My own child, one of them, died of AIDS. A brilliant boy.

The drama can only be brought to its climax in one of two ways -- through the selective brutality of terrorism or the impartial horrors of war.

I fight AIDS because it's a killer disease, destroys the human race in all fields.

When somebody says it’s not about the money, it’s about the money.

Keep your problems to yourself, if its too much for you, kill it slowly till it disappears from your life.

You are a great God!

We as people have a purpose here to contribute to the Earth, to contribute to people's goodness and good life.

I'm a fastidious sort of fellow, fond of watermelon and buckbrush nuts.

Sometimes, when I was really loaded, I'd sit on the floor and sort out every nut and bolt in the house. It was just sheer insanity. And often there'd be speed in the cut, so I was a speed freak, too.

Women who bring up children by themselves do it heroically, they do it against all odds, men who don't feel responsible for being part of their child's life create real strains on that family.

I was always looking for a career that could combine my creative interests with my technical side, and it ends up directing films is the perfect combination.

I push my own limits every day, every moment - in the studio, on the stage and beyond so it's truly a genuine fit.

I think these are very precarious times for women, it seems. So many of your rights are under assault.
