I'm not over the top; I'm not wacky. I'm fairly understated, and that reflects in the way I sing.

From being at art college, I've always hated people that have the gall to think that they're being incredibly different when they're doing something in a very acceptable way, something safe that they've seen someone else doing.

All the cliches of glamorous sophistication have little appeal to me. Do I want to live the British version of 'Dynasty?' No thanks!

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

There isn't a class structure in Nigeria; there's a tribal structure and prestige as far as money is concerned.

If you're only making an album every 10 years, it better be good.
