George W. Bush was passionate about AIDS. And we had a 10-minute talk at the interval of a concert at the Kennedy Center about AIDS. And I was astonished about how well-informed he was and his commitment to AIDS. And so it's the typical thing of don't judge a book by its cover until you have read the book.

I am such a Luddite when it comes to making music. All I can do is write at the piano.

For me music is so passionate. I have to give it my all every time I go onstage.

When President Mbeki said, if you get AIDS, you can have a shower and it goes away. It's like, oh, come on. Or it's caused by poverty. We faced those kind of issues. But now, with the new regime, they have really woken up, paid attention. And when South Africa speaks, then the whole of Africa will listen. And I have got great hopes for that.

I'm not walking around the stage, I'm not moving.

If you don't understand hip-hop, you just have to see it being recorded.

I want a love that don't mean a thing.
