Quotes

 * '''Comparing South Africa's modeling industry to that of Ghana, theirs is far better. Here people don't have that will to give their all to help the fashion and modeling industry. Sometimes we do our job and deserve to be paid with a respectable amount but we don't get it. I have always modeled for free, otherwise underpaid. The job doesn't even come everyday and when you get it, you are not paid.
 * Francis Addo, I Modeled For Free -Kate, Modern Ghana, 16 December 2008.


 * '''I went into the show (M-Net Face of Africa) with the aim to win. I have tried the Face of Africa before but I could not make it. So I said to myself I have to do something this year (2008) to win to open doors for me since I'm part of it. I gave in my hundred percent best. That is what I did.
 * Francis Addo, I Modeled For Free -Kate, Modern Ghana, 16 December 2008.


 * '''Having the face that represents the African continent is absolutely the best thing that has ever happened to me. I am very grateful. I know there are many other young, talented teenagers, and even adults, from all over Africa who get inspiration from me, so I am eager to do interesting things and set a good example to them. Being an icon means people are interested in me. They want to see what happens to me next, what I will do with my future, what attitude and behavior I carry with me. There is a large amount of opportunity for an icon and for me right now - being in the public eye elevates opportunity. It depends on how well you adapt to the opportunities that secures ongoing success and ultimate happiness.
