You've been my inspiration, through the lies you were the truth. My world is a better place because of you.

I think it bothers people to see people that are happy and successful. So they try to find what's wrong with them.

There's always a new thing happening to me that's even more extraordinary, so pressure gets harder. But I like it when it's hard. Anyone can do it when it's easy. When it's hard and you can do it good, you're proud of yourself. There's going to be more pressure as the years go by, that's for sure. But I think I'm a hard worker and I'm ready for that. As long as I believe in what I'm doing, the pressure is okay with me.

I have shared my whole life. My private and my show business life. It helps me actually to feel my songs and to go on with my dreams.

I looked in the audience. There were no strangers. Everybody was singing and cheering and hugging. That was a beautiful picture to look at.

As a singer, I've had many opportunities to travel, and one thing I've learned is that through my music, I can be accepted by people all over the world. I often wonder why so many of us can't accept people who are different here, in our country? It's just not fair to be prejudiced against those whose race, religion or colour aren't the same as ours.

I started at 5 years old in the kitchen table with my family supporting me. I know where I'm from and I know exactly where I'm going.
