I mean just because you're a musician doesn't mean all your ideas are about music. So every once in a while I get an idea about plumbing I get an idea about city government and they come the way they come.
The society which scorns excellence in plumbing as a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy: neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water.
Television is like the invention of indoor plumbing. It didn't change people's habits. It just kept them inside the house.
I think people in Botswana are pleased that my books paint a positive picture of their lives and portray the country as being very special. They've made a great success of their country and the people are fed up with the constant reporting of only the problems and poverty of the continent. They welcome something which puts the positive side.
