I'm ready to do something with Lady Gaga or Andrea Bocelli. I'm really grateful that nothing is out of the realm of possibility.

Some songs are just like tattoos for your brain... you hear them and they're affixed to you.

Happiness is not a destination or an experience. It's a decision.

I am here to give voice to the invisible.

My job in this life is to give people spiritual ecstasy through music. In my concerts people cry, laugh, dance. If they climaxed spiritually, I did my job. I did it decently and honestly.

First of all, the music that people call Latin or Spanish is really African. So Black people need to get the credit for that.

The people of Arizona, the people of Atlanta, Georgia, you should be ashamed of yourselves.
