I know I trust people too much, although I try to be a bit firm, but it is a fault that we have learnt from my father.

I will never put anybody before my family because your family is your family.

I believe in the Creator. I don't believe the creator is God. If you change G-O-D the other way, it becomes dog.

Africans should be talking and ask questions, like why does America and Russia have the right to veto votes? These countries talk about democracy and yet are not democratic themselves.

Who knows why I had to go through what I had to go through to produce the kind of music I produce today, to be one of the greatest Africans playing music, who knows?

When I die, I want to see Malcom X, Lumumba, my father, and I want to be able to look them in the eye

Looking deeper into African way of life, it wasn't religious; it was spiritual. When you go into spiritualism, spiritualism will teach you about virtues, how to be patient, humble and kind.

Spirituality is when we can't explain everything in life, totally. So, we have a spiritual meaning for it; we don't know why we are here really.

We need to teach our children history, right from the primary school level, for them to better understand the issues. In my son's school they don't teach history.

Someone asked me what legacy I wanted to leave and all my answers were so long that I even bored him. I said I don't care. Why should I? I will die someday. So if you like, remember me.

My children think I'm the perfect father, but I try to bring them up to know that, 'when you are old enough you will find some faults in me, so keep an open mind.'

To utter a word? no that will only heavy the air you breath, for your eyes speak more then your pretty mouth

An hour-glass is a reminder not only of time's quick flight, but also of the dust to which we must at last return

Well, the Lord is going to get another one.

Everything we own tells too much about us.

Ah yes, the man or the crown. I'm afraid some can't tell the difference.

I just feel that you reach a point when its time to move on.

I have lived as plain Mr. Jinnah and I hope to die as plain Mr. Jinnah. I am very much averse to any title or honours and I will be more than happy if there was no prefix to my name.

I still get the kids to the doctor and dentist and plan their play dates and buy their clothes.

To be successful you must be unique, you must be so different that if people want what you have, they must come to you to get it.
