If I sleep for more than half an hour, I get horrible dreams in which I'm firing a gun and helicopters are coming down.

Only a coward will use a gun to protect and get respect for themselves.

I don't know anywhere where the people are hungrier for education than South Sudan.

I'm kind of weird - I don't get excited. Sometimes I fake that I'm excited just to make people happy.

When I was in south Sudan, people used to rap in my village. But the rapping was more in the mother tongue, Nuer.

I would advise dancers, musicians and others in the entertainment industry to take up yoga, as it clears the mind and creates a sense of balance and stillness which is important for any performing artist.
