“Melody has a certain way that it projects back to you. It triggers certain nerves in your body and certain instincts that normally wouldn’t be triggered by a normal voice.”

I always want to set myself a challenge by doing something no-one would expect me to do! But, having said that, I don’t feel as a musician you can steer too far away from what you normally do.

People will throw stones at you. Don’t throw them back. Collect them all and build an empire.

Misery is a choice. I chose happiness.

What I remember the most really was just running wild there. Barefooted, swimming in dirty lakes, selling fruit, picking mango trees, hoping not to get caught because they don’t take kindly to thieves in Africa.

A fool dreams of wealth. A wise man dreams of happiness!

It’s always the music first for me. But if the music isn’t selling, there isn’t gonna be no business. So you gotta make sure music is always the first priority.

Let’s break out of our past and concur the future

The moment artists can just do what they love to do then music will go right back to where it used to be. I mean back in the ’60s and ’70s and ’80s, that’s what it was.

The difference between dreams & success Is, dreams need effortless sleep & success needs sleepless efforts.

Damn life is so short.

I make sure to stop by in every city they exist to attend to my sweet tooth.

I’m a polygamist. I can afford to have as many wives as I can afford to have. All Africans believe in it. My dad has four wives.

I don’t want to know I’m getting older. Then I’ll start to think about getting checkups and insurance. I don’t want that.

Party don’t stop. Only gets crazier when I touch down.

As long as you’re giving up quality records and you’re makin’ hit records, people are always gonna want to hear a hit and they’ll always want to be attached to something that’s doin’ great.

Some girls are just born with glitter in their veins.

A couple of times a day I sit quietly and visualize my body fighting the AIDS virus. It’s the same as me sitting and seeing myself hit the perfect serve. I did that often when I was an athlete.

The highest and most precious treasure we receive of God is, that we can speak, hear, see, etc; but how few acknowledge these as God’s special gifts, much less give God thanks for them.

Elizabeth Taylor’s so fat she puts mayonnaise on aspirin.

I’ve had so much plastic surgery, when I die they will donate my body to Tupperware.

My body has always been a stranger. And it aches in a language I don’t understand.

It was always you who felt like water when my whole body was a flame.

Sometimes I hear the crowd cheering, and most of the time your body’s on auto pilot, so sometimes even after I do a floor routine, I’m like, ‘Did I really just do that?’
