I'm a musician. I write songs. I just hope when the day is done I've been able to tear a little corner off of the darkness.

I have been working for Africans since I was 18, when I got involved with the Nelson Mandela concerts. I got involved with debt cancellation because Desmond Tutu demanded that the world respond to that situation.

The less you know, the more you believe.

Even though I'm a believer, I still find it really hard to be around other believers. They make me nervous, they make me twitch. I sorta watch my back.

Jesus, Jesus help me. I'm alone in this world.

We can't fix all problems but we must fix the ones we can

Happy the country that lives on nothing but its wits; cursed be the one that thinks it can get rich by planting or digging or drilling for wealth.
