Trust Yourself and Believe, Whatever Happens Don't Give Up.

I went to sleep dreaming of Malawi, and all the things made possible when your dreams are powered by your heart.

I looked at my father and looked at those dry fields [in Malawi]. It was the future I couldn't accept.

I will always be looking back at the things I've gone through, thinking of the struggling people I've seen.

Don't insult me today just because I'm poor, you don't know what my future holds!

One thing that has helped me to become patient and cool is that I grew up with sisters.

BEFORE I DISCOVERED THE miracles of science, magic ruled the world.

My voice sounded like one of the guinea fowl that screeched in our trees as it pooped, but I never let that stop me.

Chief Wimbe also loved his cat, which was black and white but had no name. In Malawi, only dogs are given names, I don't know why.

When you go to see the lake, you also see the hippos.

You don't win by wishing for your competitor or enemy to be weak and broke

Never blame your shortcomings on your personality. You're not built that way

The Christian's life should be one of thankfulness to God.

There are people who can sit down and write a song about any given subject, and they can do it really, really well.

Today painters do not have to go to a subject matter outside of themselves. Most modern painters work from a different source. They work from within.

The inner child runs rampant. They're just smaller, that's all.

It's one thing to make a beautiful thing; it's another thing to make a living thing.

I've always been way more attracted to playing imposing characters than the hero. I've always been more intrigued by Iago in Shakespeare than playing Romeo. That was always boring to me.

You can't take the view of some of the sectarian parties that hard issues can't be confronted when dealing with workers. If you don't confront these issues, what will ever change?

I make more movies than I see.
