More quotes by Angelique Kidjo
I’m honoured when Africa recognises me
Angelique Kidjo
With technology today you can sing like a frog and sound good. And then when you come on stage, what do you do. Some of those artists never toured, probably just hype.
Angelique Kidjo
Music for me has been my breath, my backbone since I was a little kid. Anything that comes to my life, hard time or good time, I always find comfort in music.
Angelique Kidjo
If you don't trust the roots of the modern music in Africa, then there's hope for that music at all.
Angelique Kidjo
Your color doesn't define your brain nor your soul. You can stand next to any human being and challenge that person as long as you use your brain.
Angelique Kidjo
The richness of Africa, culturally, is vast. That's the challenge that we have to face, because most of the time, people in the western world, their attention span is really narrow.
Angelique Kidjo
Dream big, as long as you do it in sync with your truth, with your heart, your brain. And you are not hurting anybody, go ahead and do it.
Angelique Kidjo
I refuse for anyone to tell me who I am because I know who I am.
Angelique Kidjo
If everybody can be happy with what they achieve with their life, this world would be a better place.
Angelique Kidjo
Don't let anyone define you from what you live through and everything that they think you stand for. Just be proud of who you are.
Angelique Kidjo
I want everybody to be happy because, if you're happy, you are more open to other people. Don't let misery bring you down.
Angelique Kidjo
From the moment you are clear in your vision of yourself and how you project that vision in your family, your community and in the world, that's all that matters.
Angelique Kidjo
Don't let misery bring you down.
Angelique Kidjo
Don't let anyone define and decide for you fate.
Angelique Kidjo
If you're on stage and you're more concerned about your dress, and then you think that the public is accessory, you got nothing to do there.
Angelique Kidjo
Education is not something that the government invests in. Because if you invest in education, no politician can come and tell you something that doesn't make sense.
Angelique Kidjo
Africa is not just about where you are born. For me, Africa is the whole continent from south to north, to east to west.
Angelique Kidjo
I never use someone just because they are great musicians. I work with people who have the same kind of feeling towards the music that I do, and the subject that I'm speaking of at that time.
Angelique Kidjo
Don't say that you are a victim if you let somebody manipulate you.
Angelique Kidjo
There are people who refuse to say that Africa is a continent, but that doesn't remove the fact that it is a continent.
