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

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

People are so used to having their lives filmed, they're not even conscious of having cameras around. I still have that sort of suspicion when a camera comes out. I view it as a thing to fear.

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

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.
