My father worked on assembly lines in Detroit while I was growing up. Every day, I watched him do what he needed to do to support the family. But he told me, 'Life is short. Do what you want to do.'

Growing up I always loved films that transport you to another world and has things you never see in every day life.

Life is short, and it is up to you to make it sweet.

When I was growing up in Monrovia, the capital of Liberia, I sold doughnuts, popcorn and Kool Aid every day after school so that my family had some money and I could pay my school fees. It was a tough life.

The day after tomorrow could be the best day ever.

Life is short, and we should respect every moment of it.
