Djimon Hounsou's quotes
- The gym can serve as an excellent place where kids and young men and women can really empty their issues right on the floor.
- Africa is my continent. It is where I opened my eyes.
- Funny enough, every role that I have had, I try to tone down my accent or speak with better diction.
- Africa is a continent that provides so much for the existence of the rest of the world. We go around the world and cultivate so many things.
- I was just a very torn child, very wounded in so many areas, with no family support. I happened to the be the fifth child of my family. So everybody was already grown and had left home already.
- Some of the reason why you have so many divorces is that we tend to get married, most of the time, not for ourselves, but for others, or for how it looks to others.
- I like stories that have a social impact and social attributes to them. That's the whole reason we make films: to broaden our limited view of things and to see how life is evolving elsewhere.
- One of the things I find extremely challenging about the continent of Africa is that when the immediate needs and the social needs of people are not met, that kills dreams, and it's all about survival.
- If anything, Calvin Klein is the iconic company in terms of fashion. They do have iconic images for their campaigns.
- Even while modeling, I was still practicing kung fu and boxing as sports.
- I happened to the be the fifth child of my family, so everybody was already grown and had left home already.
- I hope more people will ask diamond companies to continue changing the way they do business in Africa.
- It's a part of most actors to want to be in an animated feature; to extend the legacy of your career.
- Until you are somewhat comfortable and confident and embrace who you are as a person, you can't possibly love somebody else because you don't like yourself that much.
- We like to make the Marvel comics films because they're fun. Families can go see them together. They're entertaining. They aspire to inspire, and that is cool.
- When most people in the West think about Africa, is their first thought about the game reserves and who's chasing gazelles, or are they looking at Africans as people who are equally equipped to do great things, as in the West?
- As a young boy, I had strange dreams of affecting people and somehow being instrumental in changing the makeup of Africa and helping to improve life there.
- My passion is more about bringing the stories out from the African continent mixed with the West.
- The rocky time came right after I left school. I spent a lot of time at night navigating the streets of Paris trying to find something to eat.
