I Always Make The Joke

I Had To Run Away From Home In Order To Be A Musician. Because I Came From A Family Of... My Father Was A Health Inspector; My Mother Was A Social Worker. And I Was Pretty Smart In School. So They Expected Me To Be Some Kind Of Academic - Schoolteacher, Or Doctor, Lawyer - And They Were Very Disappointed When I Told Them I Wanted To Be A Musician.

When People Campaign For Positions, They Promise People All Kinds Of Things.

I Don't Think What I Do Is Influenced By Suffering. I Come From A Talented People Who Are Prolific In Music And Dance.

In My View, Africa's Real Problems Are Cultural.

When I Left South Africa In 1960 I Was 20 Years Old. I Wanted To Try To Get An Education, And Music Education Was Not Available For Me In South Africa.
