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.'

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.

When we focus on love, we shall experience love.

I’m not leaving you. Right here, right now is the happiest I’ve ever been. I love you. That means I don’t leave. Sorry.

I have seen [Betsy DeVos] present a few times. I don't really know her. But I have seen her present on education policy, and she's not a stupid person.

My generation had the best years. We missed the Second World War and caught the outburst of rock 'n' roll.

This joy you feel is life.

I don't speak Italian, but I do speak Moschino.

There's not just one trans story. There's not just one trans experience.

All statutes to the contrary are revoked.

Joy, with peace, is the sister of charity. Serve the Lord with laughter.
