When I left Africa in 1966 it seemed to me to be a place that was developing, going in a particular direction, and I don't think that is the case now.

It's a tremendous responsibility to be direct descendants of the prophet Muhammad. This family has had the burden of leadership on its shoulders for 1,400 years. I'm not going to drop the ball on my shift. ↗

The thing about For Better or Worse is the only thing that made me an okay director for that is that I have a sense of humor, and it was supposed to be funny. ↗
