Don't let misery bring you down.

It doesn't matter what challenge you face, the most important thing is, when you fall, how you rise and how high you want to go, where you want to go from that rise on.

As far as I'm concerned, no human being should be, absolutely not, put in the category of color.

I don't care about what people think about me.

My legacy is not only about legacy, it's about how we as a human family learn to live together within our difference.

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.

If you love music, you have to be the one that opens doors. You have to be the one that build bridge on which everybody can be free to walk on. I know that that's my mission.
