I already feel that I am making a political statement by sticking around in music, when I am doing it so differently to everyone else.

I just think that funerals are a lot like death itself. You can have your wishes, your plans, but at the end of the day, it's out of your control.

I'm still working out my opinions - it's always a question mark. I leave loads of space open, and people don't like that.

Culturally, I found myself in a very weird situation: you were the person that had made that journey to the West, and then you were going back to comment on something, and then suddenly you were questioned and told, "You can't touch that now because you're a pop star."

I think people were genuinely addicted to hip hop in the 90s, addicted to the idea of empowerment. I think it came from [the fact that] the rappers in the 90s, their parents coming from the 70s, had such a rich variety of records to sample.

Creativity needs time to harness before it goes out, and because that's difficult, memes have become the creative language.

I've documented a lot of things myself as a filmmaker. If you want a rockumentary, that's in there.
