“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.”

Brotherhood is measured by the Wars you’ve won not by the ones you’ve fought.

As Africans we shouldn’t ever have to reach out to build our own country, there is enough money in Africa itself.

Never start something to prove people wrong, Always start to prove yourself right.

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.

Whatever obstacle comes your way, you gotta be prepared to jump over it! And I think that’s what separates the legends from the regular artists. It’s all in how you manage that success, and how you deal with the controversy when it actually comes.

When I first heard hip-hop I thought it was rubbish because I didn’t understand the concept of people talking over music.

I just like music all the way around the board. I can’t stick to one thing – I’ve got to move around.

My ideas come when I least expect it, so I’ve always got to have a studio nearby or close by somewhere.

Living right brings the smile out of you!!

Whoever told you its not possible was lying! Keep going!

Two things that define SUCCESS In LIFE: – The Way You manage when you have nothing & way you behave when you have everything.

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!

When someone is drowning in the ocean of attachments, Surrender is the life jacket they can put on and wait for the rescue team

Desire is storm, greed is whirlpool, pride is precipice, attachment is avalanche, ego is volcano. Discard desire and you are liberated.

The proprietor of stock is necessarily a citizen of the world, and is not necessarily attached to any particular country.

Little moments attach themselves to other little moments and collect into big dreams. We become what we experience.

Attachment brings misery, unattachment brings blissfulness. So use things, but don’t be used by them. Live life but don’t be lived by it. Possess things, but don’t be possessed by them. Have things – that’s not a problem. I am not for renunciation. Enjoy everything that life gives, but always remain free.

The key is falling in love with something, anything. If your heart’s attached to it, then your mind will be attached to it.

Thought = creation. If these thoughts are attached to powerful emotions (good or bad) that speeds the creation

I release all attachments, knowing that anything that is truly mine will not pass me by and will arrive in divine time.
