I claim that human mind or human society is not divided into watertight compartments called social political and religious. All act and react upon one another.

Beautiful isle of the sea Smile on the brow of the waters.

The people of Liberia know what it means to be deprived of clean water but we also know what it means to see our children to begin to smile again with a restoration of hope and faith in the future.

I always challenge myself. I get out in deep water and I always try to get back. But I get hung up. The audience never knows but that's when I smile the most when I show the most ivory.

I just did an interview where I was asked whether I drink beer or whisky and I was sad to reveal that I'm pounding spring water.
