I've never associated myself with other singers, certainly not female singers.

To be a mother you must be strong. Even if you don't feel it, you have to pretend.

I'm not over the top; I'm not wacky. I'm fairly understated, and that reflects in the way I sing.

Move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy.

All the cliches of glamorous sophistication have little appeal to me. Do I want to live the British version of 'Dynasty?' No thanks!

I am fairly classless because it is very difficult to class someone who comes from a mixed marriage.

There isn't a class structure in Nigeria, there's a tribal structure and prestige as far as money is concerned.
