I'm uneasy with fame so I do my best to avoid places that will bring me more attention.

I always see myself as much more of a musician than a celebrity.

The anxiety I feel when I'm late is nothing like the anxiety I feel when I'm on time.

My musical career was an accident.

I only make records when I feel I have something to say. I'm not interested in releasing music just for the sake of selling something. Sade is not a brand.

I look a lot like my father and his mother.

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