On going back to school:
As a matter of fact, Yinka Quadri is going back to school to hone his skill in film production, particularly production design at Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), Ago Iwoye, Ogun State. I have every reason to believe that it would better the lot of the industry and it would also adequately
prepare me for my political ambition.

On going on tour recently:
I went there to rub minds and brainstorm with Hollywood and Bollywood stars so as to tap new ideas to raise the ante at home. I strongly believe in innovation and with that you can measure up to international standard. This is our industry and we can’t allow it to die.

On leaving acting for farming:
No, I have not dumped acting for farming. Some people love misinterpreting issues. My main aim of venturing into farming is to generate employment for the youth and contribute my little quota to the development of agriculture. Nevertheless, that can’t in any way affect my career as an actor and film maker. I’m still in the industry and will never jump boat.
