"I moved to the states when I was a baby. It is very strange, but when I visited Kenya for the first time since I had left, my visit was when I was 16, I recognized family members, locations, and buildings. It was bizarre but there was a memory from when I was a baby. And the first meal that I had, the food was so friggin delicious I couldn't believe it. The potatoes tasted like they came from MOTHER earth. It was a wonderful experience. I'll never forget it."—2008, on visiting KenyaINSPIREmagazine: Edi Gathegi"I was in Cambridge, meeting fans all weekend, and trying to not think about how the film was performing, but every few minutes I would get text messages from friends and family telling me how it was doing. The estimates kept going up. It was surreal!"—November 26, 2008, on where he was during Twilight's opening weekendMTV Movies Blog: Twilight Star Edi Gathegi Talks Breaking Records, 'New Moon'
