I don't like rap music at all. I don't think it's music. It's just a beat and rapping.
Everything that happened to me as a child involved music. It was part of everyday life, as automatic as breathing.
You can't help it. An artist's duty, as far as I'm concerned, is to reflect the times.
When I choose material for an album all these songs I grew up with pour into my head.
Greed has driven the world crazy. And I think I'm lucky that I have a place over here that I can call home.
I was not reluctant to become a singer. Singing has been an activity I've done my whole life, without thought.
