Tina Jaxa

"It was difficult, but I’ve learned whatever happens in my personal life, my work must never suffer. I have to deliver the best I can, no matter what"

"I’ve been given a second chance at my career and I’m not going to mess this up. I’ve changed a lot over the years"

"I’ve gained a lot of wisdom. I acknowledge all of my past mistakes and understand tomorrow is always an opportunity to do better"

"It's the unleashed level of commitment built inside of me‚ and the devotion I possess when it comes to the craft I so respect"

"My findings about Tina (her character) was through deep meditation. Her dark side that is so well suppressed when she was introduced to me‚ had to come out. I researched but also relied on deep meditation to take me to my character's different layers"

"Not only does it reflect the reality of our children in Khayelitsha‚ also the country entirely. Our kids are faced with serious challenges‚ there's an enormous amount of peer pressure spread out negatively out there‚ that we as parents don't even get close enough to hear about. Back in the days we would say the community helped groom a child‚ but nowadays these are the very same communities we ought to protect our kids from"

"I’ll never give up on love based on previous love relationships that didn’t work out because I don’t live my life from a point of fear"

"He is the guy I could marry any time"

"At first I was not sure because I was not really into masculine guys with a big moustache. And besides, I was dating someone else at that time. And also, I saw him as a fan who was just star struck but he kept on pressing until I gave in"
