When asked in a 1996 interview about having conventional religious beliefs, Kay responded, "I follow the religion of the trees and the greenery. I follow the religion of the moon. I believe in what people leave behind in the sense of trails and spirits, the energy which they project. I believe in vibrations, which is what the whole world runs on."<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://archive.org/stream/muzik017_october_1996#page/n107/mode/2up/search/jamiroquai|title=Getting personal with JAMIROQUAI's Jay Kay|last=Poulton|first=Sonia|publisher=Muzik|year=1996|page=109}}</ref>
