Actors From Uganda

"Right from when I was an amateur, I loved kickboxing. I used to feel sad because the game had no sponsors."

"My energy is now volcanic, it keeps erupting!"

"I later saw Afande Tugume on television saying funny things. I don't know whether it was his accent or he meant it but instead of saying: "The match was unfair!", he said: "The match was an affair!". Now my girlfriend wants to call off our kwanjula because of his statements on national television."

"I am not a joking subject!"

"When the colonialists heard about the birth of Golola Moses, they immediately granted Uganda independence."

"If I need someone to kick you, I go to Moses..."

"Amazina gozina, olinga azanya karati! Ako okawubyemu nga Jet Li, Bruce Lee, Golola Mosesi... (Luganda for: The dance you're doing, you appear like you're playing karate! That you waved it in like Jet Li, Bruce Lee, Golola Moses...)"

"The whole Uganda knows me, because of him."

"The show was meant to last for an hour, but we extended it to two, he had that appeal. I realised he could use his funny side to promote his sporty side."

"Kinna-Uganda has something to do with mediocrity. We should follow the trends of other industries like Hollywood, Bollywood and Nollywood; let us call our films Ugawood."

"True success depends on one’s commitment to hard work, the courage to unlearn old habits, and the openness to embrace new industry approaches."

"It affected me so much having to adapt to different parenting environments."

"By engaging regional leaders and opening up to the global stage, we are setting the foundation for an even more impactful iKON Awards. [on his perspective and vision for the iKON Awards 2026]"

"Sometimes building relationships is facilitated through food, enjoyable events and more."

"You can use whatever medium that you have chosen to run to change lives, impact a society and as well to create a legacy."

"We have a lot of things that define who we are from where we come from and as filmmakers we need to be true to our identity."

"Inspirations come differently, sometimes you are just sleeping and get a bad dream, others are stories in papers. So people have different stories, it’s about art. I make sure I keep my brains awake."

"People here always want to grab a simple camera and a table light, get their cousin and shoot a movie. You can’t say that’s wrong, but it’s not cinema."

"Do it now if you can, when you can. Sometimes later goes for never."

"It's not about being cute or not, but the confidence of how you see yourself in the reflection."
