Move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy.
I think you only really feel like an outsider if you've been an insider.
I only make records when I feel I have something to say. I'm not interested in releasing music just for the sake of selling something. Sade is not a brand.

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