I grew up in Africa surrounded by a lot of culture. It's made me aware that the world is a big place.

I've got to where am in life not because of something I brought to the world but through something I found - the wealth of African culture.

The biggest lesson from Africa was that life's joys come mostly from relationships and friendships, not from material things. I saw time and again how much fun Africans had with their families and friends and on the sports fields; they laughed all the time.

People wonder why I love Africa so much. I say this is where I was born and raised. My roots are in Africa; that's were I developed.

One of the things I love about Africa is the amount of dignity and respect and humility you see all the time. You don't realise how often you're disrespected until you are surrounded by respect.

In my view, Africa's real problems are cultural.

I love Africa in general South Africa and West Africa, they are both great countries.

There's a rising tide of concern among activists, economists, and artists about Africa. Theres a temptation to think of it as a monolith as opposed to all these different countries with different problems.

I really fell in love with Africa.

Africa has become the big game of the nation hunters. Today, Africa looms as the greatest commercial, industrial and political prize in the world.
