I grew up in poverty. For 25 years I was fed on aid.

If I sleep for more than half an hour, I get horrible dreams in which I'm firing a gun and helicopters are coming down.

The worst people on earth are not only those who commit evil, but those who stand by and turn a blind eye

Music is actually where I see heaven.

I don't take modern hip-hop as real. It's entertaining, it's fake, like James Bond.

In Africa, you know, if you're poor, at least you can go to the forest and share some mangoes with the gorillas and monkey.

Music is powerful. It is the only thing that can speak into your mind, your heart and your soul without your permission.
