On this day in 1990, Nelson Mandela was released from prison after serving 27 years. I will always remember Madiba as a man of courage, compassion, and determination that not only changed South Africa, but the world.

Every opportunity to step outside of what you consider your mold is a chance to enter into your own Savage Mode.
Although I realized that I didn’t ACTUALLY want to be a Fighter Pilot like I dreamt of being as a kid, I’m proud to have served in the U.S. Air Force and humbled by what I learned from my experience.
“Great men with great ideals can be separated by hundreds or even thousands of miles - And still be in the same place. They can be years or even generations apart in age - And yet, somehow, find themselves on the exact same page.”

I started sailing in 1967 because I was always fascinated by the sea since I first read “Moby Dick” as a child.
Despite running into trees and sandbanks I was thoroughly hooked! That summer I committed to learning how to sail and I spent the next 50 years doing just that.

On my global
#StoryOfGod
journey I wanted to know how the after-life first became part of religion. So I went to Egypt with Egyptologist, Salima Ikram to the place where the first great monuments to the afterlife still stand.
This picture reminds me of the kid with a great love for flying who joined the U.S. Air Force. Saluting all veterans for their dedication and service. Thank you.
Share your favorite movie quotes with me - mine is, “I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope.”

The script for the
#SavageMode
album is full of valuable life lessons. I think this is exactly what the youth need to listen to, things I will tell my grandchildren.
I'm thankful to say that life has been and is good to me. Because of this I believe my task is to be good to it in return. How do you be good to life? You live it well and hopefully make it good for others.

Learning how to be still, to really be still and let life happen – that stillness can become a radiance. I’ve learned this from some of the great actors with whom I’ve worked.
I’ll never forget my travels to Kathmandu during the filming of the

Life often can feel like shifting sands, but if we choose to pivot with it, there is a revelation that we are not the same people we used to be. Thank you, Swapnil Jadhav for the talent you express through colored sand art.

Denzel, my dear friend, one of the things I noticed early on from our time on set together is your ability to take your roles, shift sides, and pivot, so audiences always know who you are at all times - it is truly good stuff.
Walking around Pompeii, I found it hard to ignore the city-destroying beast that loomed over me. Then I found out that Vesuvius has an even more powerful cousin over in Sicily.

Sidney Poitier came to this world to move it, to shake it, to change it, not only as an actor, but as an activist & a wisdom teacher. It’s one of the great honors of my life to produce the documentary

Dashain is more than the victory of good over evil - it’s acknowledging the battles that take place within ourselves and freeing up our spirit to welcome all the goodness in the world.

premiered in theaters. Some of the work you do as an actor, you look back on years later and think - nailed it. “Million Dollar Baby” is one of those films and I’ve always enjoyed working with Clint and Hilary.
