"It is a man’s world in business, in science, in construction, in art; in virtually every industry out there, it is a man’s world. You will face more challenges than they will, but that won’t stop you"

"Remember that pain must come into your life to do a work, when the work is done, the pain will leave you"

"I really have the ambition to bring the trophy to Portugal."

"I think it’s possible to make a difference, singing in Portuguese. People see Portuguese songs as poor songs. We need to prove that it is possible to sing in Portuguese, and have a great song, which can be capable of winning Eurovision. And we also need to have faith that things can happen, like it was in the UEFA Football Championship. Nobody thought that Portugal could win it, but we had faith and we did it."

"I was born to become a star."

"Baby we're free and young Keep dancing to this songDon't you leave early here babe Cause I know you wanna stay"

"Chapters of my life isn't good yeah I've been searching out for good yeah But good doesn't show up on me yeah Been tired searching for good baby"

"I do what I want"

"I never, never knew how complete love could be Till she kissed me and said "Baby, please, go all the way It feels so right (feels so right) Being with you here tonight" "Please, go all the way Just hold me close (hold me close) Don't ever let me go (don't let me go)""

"When I was young I never needed anyone And making love was just for fun Those days are gone."

"All by myself Don't want to be all by myself anymore."

"Hard to be sure Sometimes I feel so insecure And love so distant and obscure Remains the cure."

"Her voice makes you stop the car and peer skywards in wonder."

"I would sing to console myself. I had no mother on whose shoulder I could rest my head for comfort. There were no stories at bedtime. So I sang. And I cried a lot"

"Sometimes I would shut myself away"

"Oumou Sangare embodies this alluring dichotomy like no one else. She’s the epitome of tough femininity; beautiful, elegant, determined, independent, talented…and, well, hard"

"But mum, I sing now. I earn plenty of money in the streets"

"One day, when my mother came back from a trip,” Oumou recalled, “she saw that I had managed to clothe all her children in brand new clothes"

"It was a very hard childhood, but thanks be to God, all is well now. It gave me an incredible character. I can face up to any obstacle"

"I tried to be myself and stay close to womanhood. There were plenty of critics, but it was all very minor compared to the success"

"The school of life was my education — the only one I could have. I learnt on the move’"

"You can lose your lucky star / Or you can take care of it / You must not spoil it"

"I begin with myself. I try to show a good example. I thank God for this fortune, and I try and help younger artists move up the ladder in an attempt to give benefit t those who haven’t had the kind of opportunities I have"

"When I decided to go solo, it made sense at the time to reinvent myself in every way, I wanted a name that was African and unique but at the same time relevant to me in some way. My manager, Jimmi, helped me come up with the name Efya."

"I don't think I have any competition. What I think it is there is a big sky, God made a lot of stars and every night they all shine and that's what I believe."

"Efya is like a big sister to me. If I have to get her on a song, it means I'd have to do a vocal training for six months. I have to give it my all because she is amazing. I look up to her so much. I won't just get up to do a song with Efya, it has to be well-prepared."

"It is human behaviour. Sometimes you just have to understand. When you are in a competition, you should expect winners. And you should expect losers. So I understand. It's normal for a human being to behave like that."

"Rock My Body, is a sex song but if it comes out people will just put me in a certain category that is not me. I'm versatile. I can sing any style but I really need to start well. If I don't lay the foundations well and I come with the wrong start, that's how the industry will receive her. Rock my body did that."

"If Wiyaala came from Funsi and has succeeded, then me too, I can make it."

"I decided to let people know the real Wiyaala. Rock My Body happened because I was trying to join what was trending. That was because I just allowed myself to be influenced by some friends who said 'oh do this because it is trending. It is going to make you [popular]. [So, I said] let's get it [done]'. Deep down I'm not sure."

"Did Wiyaala say churches make unnecessary noise praising God and praying to him? How I wish there is sense in what she’s said. You play your secular music in very loud speakers for people to dance, sing and praise the devil by doing the unnecessary and you have a problem with those who will make a joyful noise unto the Lord? Well, I think you must put some clothes on to be taken serious. GOD FORGIVE YOU."

"That is why in my opinion I think you would have to understand [the language in] rap music to enjoy it. Because rap is very similar to talking. If you are a rapper and you went to certain places and they don’t understand what you are rapping about because you are talking to them in a much faster pace."
