Music is the weapon. Music is the weapon of the future.

I want peace. Happiness. Not only for myself. For everybody.

The secret of life is to have no fear.

My people are scared of the air around them, they always have an excuse not to fight for freedom.

It would be inadmissible if I would vent my opinion publicly. Not only could I harm the artist concerned seriously because people have so much respect for me and believe in me because of my musical accomplishments. And I could also antagonize people against me, because everyone has his own taste. We all make music, people can choose from that what they like. Every musician likes his own music the best, man. I don't want to attack that. I don't mind criticism, I can handle it, but most people can't".

I must identify myself with Africa. Then I will have an identity.

Music is a spiritual thing, you don't play with music. If you play with music you will die young. You see, because when the higher forces give you the gift of music...musicians hip, it must be well used for the gift of humanity.
