Someone asked me what legacy I wanted to leave and all my answers were so long that I even bored him. I said I don't care. Why should I? I will die someday. So if you like, remember me.

My children think I'm the perfect father, but I try to bring them up to know that, 'when you are old enough you will find some faults in me, so keep an open mind.'

Our leaders should start talking as leaders. They talk like puppets. It might take us another 100 years to come out of this phase of corruption and mismanagement. But the good thing is that we are more aware, and more Africans are talking about these things.

Who knows why I had to go through what I had to go through to produce the kind of music I produce today, to be one of the greatest Africans playing music, who knows?

I believe in the Creator. I don't believe the creator is God. If you change G-O-D the other way, it becomes dog.

Looking deeper into African way of life, it wasn't religious; it was spiritual. When you go into spiritualism, spiritualism will teach you about virtues, how to be patient, humble and kind.

I know I trust people too much, although I try to be a bit firm, but it is a fault that we have learnt from my father.
