Quotes

• “As soon as you know you want a child, you have a baby fever when you see a cute baby.”
• “Sometimes, you also just want to be in your personal space and it doesn’t mean you don’t love (your fans) or anything. It just means you want your space.”
• “Yes, I do have a lot of songs that are about love, but what I try to do is, I try to come from different angles, like you might hear my songs and say that they are love songs but they are not saying the same thing.”
• “Everything inspires me, I think I am mostly inspired by experiences, things that I have seen happen or that have happened to me.”
• “The norm is to do a formal and proper press release, with big, impersonal words, but this is me and you. We started with true laughs, constructive criticism, silly jokes and personal moments. We’re going to keep it that way.”
• “So many people have asked me what Duduke means— it’s the beat of your heart or the beat of the drums you move your body to, or the beat you sing a melody to.”
