When a war is over I think it's a cowardly thing to leave the war behind you in minefields that hit women and children and the most vulnerable. Imagine the war is finished and you go to work and there are snipers shooting at you. Imagine taking your kids to the beach and you find that the beach is blowing up beneath you. Like there's nowhere safe.

I do have a spongelike ear or mentality or whatever you call it, but it's probably a bit subconscious.

Love is a robber and he lives within your eyes.

I'm not religious, but I'm very spiritual.

I meet so many people that just sort of say, "I want to thank you for your music. It really helped me" or "It changed my life."

My arrest was on every bloody TV set. The other prisoners all knew who I was and asked me to sing.
