When I was 14, I was the oldest I ever was. I've been getting younger ever since.

I stopped believing in santa clause when at age six my mother took me to a department store to see him and he asked me for my autograph.

By the time I got to the Fox studio for my first major film, I knew how to hit a mark. I knew how to memorize lines. I knew how to pay attention.

Most of the people in Ghana wouldn't know me as an actress. They'd know me for my work at the U.N.

I loved what I did. I remember cruel mothers who would pinch their children to make them cry in a scene, but my mother encircled me with affection.

There's nothing like real love. Nothing.
