Urban artist have to face the stigma not only from white Australia but black Australia too; that's horrific when people say that their art isn't "Aboriginal" if it doesn't have dots or lines or moieties in it.

I come from a place where you don't need to talk all the time. There are sign languages you learn.

I love music more than language: it's the best, it's universal.

When you're in other people's country you don't speak your own language out of respect. You don't need to speak.

You don't actually have to understand the song to be emotionally moved and uplifted, whereas with language it becomes quirky and analytical.

You live with someone until they accept that you are what you are, that you're not going to change and they love that about you - and then they decide to marry you, I guess.
