I made a movie in Ghana about a month ago called "Zongo Boy". It about a religion fanatic. Somebody took the pictures from that movie and it ended up in the hands of a random, unscrupulous blogger and he said that I have converted my faith. I respect all religion and we believe in one God. But I have no intention, not now, not ever to convert my faith. I', totally committed to my faith."
