A lot of the people I was writing with think a lot more about lyrics and a lot more about the details from the beginning. That kind of thinking made me a little self-conscious because I was suddenly having to judge what I was doing early on in the process.

It's sad that some people still believe that artists die poor. This is not the case in this day and age.

An opened mind will eventually lead to a more well rounded artist and this will thus heightenen his or her level of professionalism.

I think I was just too young to even understand what was going on. When I was still living in South Africa, there was still so much racial tension.

I view the art scene as an industry which is slowly developing. These days, technology has mad the world smaller. Meaning that information is a website away.

Normally the meaning of the songs, if there is any, occurs to me after I've written the song.

The music that I listen to the most is probably world music, whether it's from African or South America or all over.
