When you tour, you regain the music and the connection with the audience.

Once a song's out there, it's no longer mine. And that's the whole purpose of music: to belong to people.

Whatever I'm doing, I'm in that moment and I'm doing it. The rest of the world's lost. If I'm cooking some food or making soup, I want it to be lovely. If not, what's the point of doing it?

Move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy.

I just aspire to pick people up. That's my ambition.

When I go into the studio, I completely detach. I let my emotions come out.

I only make records when I feel I have something to say. I'm not interested in releasing music just for the sake of selling something. Sade is not a brand.

To be a mother you must be strong. Even if you don't feel it, you have to pretend.

The anxiety I feel when I'm late is nothing like the anxiety I feel when I'm on time.

I've made sacrifices. I'm not anti-fashion but I've always had a bit of a punk attitude. That's important, I think. I do my own thing.

People generally let me be me. People are aware that I'm not someone particularly begging for attention. They hold back a bit with me.

Stop falling for those who won't raise you up in the future.

Every life contains a novel.

Personal destiny is discovered through teachings

Dreams and reality are opposites. Action synthesizes them.

Every year I try to grow as a player and not get stuck in a rut. I try to improve my game in every way possible. But that trait is not something I've worked on, it's part of me.

When you're old, everything you do is sort of a miracle.

It is wise to persuade people to do things and make them think it was their own idea.

Everyone has this conjecture that action films are somewhat less prestigious than dramatic films. Nothing could be further from the truth. I've done them both and this is hard and dangerous.
