The things that make me happy most are my family and working.

I've always known I'm incredibly special. All my life. You know? It's not a big deal.

No, every album is something like a snapshot. It only shows one moment in time. It shows what we feel and think right at that point in time, nothing more and nothing less

I'm not really one of those people who believes that if you're a musician you can just leave that behind and start getting into politics

My guaranteed way of sending myself into deep depression is to read music trade papers and watch MTV.

Every time I go to Africa, I see the future. I see what the Western world is going to become. It's a very futuristic place.

Well, as resources inevitably disappear [in Africa], people have to make do with a lot less. You have to be much more ingenious with a lot less, and accept that you can't get your perfect tuna sandwich on a street corner.
