Denzel Washington Actor, Director

"When we shot "Cry Freedom," I wasn't even allowed in South Africa. They told me I could come but I wasn't going to leave. I had heavy death threats at that time. So we shot in Zimbabwe.

Then I had the good fortune to have Mr. Mandela actually come to my house in California. There's been a tremendous amount of change."

It used to be quite a bit more. It used to be, I'd smoke the table. I'd smoke the patch. I'd smoke the gum. So I feel good about it."
