Africa is on the rise..

I don't keep up with the Joneses, I am the Joneses..

Start small and with your own money..

They will love me for that which destroys me..

The image is an image..

God hides things by putting them near us..

I often look for beauty in form and structure, and for ideas..

Since I went no grasse hath growne on my hele..

Things [only] exist once they are represented..

You can hold onto anything to make you carry on..

Take what you got and fly with it..

I've never been competitive with anybody but myself..

When you're the ingénue no one is really interested in you for that..

On radio, you're an artist. On TV, you're a servant..

I am not an African. I am an American..

You should never try to make a record and say it's for the radio, you should just make it, and then if it happens to be that, that's what it happens ….

Politics is a highly tribal business..

No one survives life..

I've always said that if you have songs on the radio and get played, you've got to have a tour to support that..

Radio listeners are voyeurs: lurking, invisible, eavesdropping..

Charge for something and make more than you spend..
