A song is like a smile. If you meet people from another country, even if you don't speak the same language, you know what a smile means. A song works the same way. Music produces feelings that need no translation.

When the answer to all my dreams is as close as a touch away, why am I here holding back what I'm trying to say?

It doesn't really matter to me how I make a difference, I just wanna make sure that I do.

My mother taught me that we all have the power to achieve our dreams. What I lacked was the courage.

I know that I've got big ears and a big forehead and that my hair sticks up, but I'm happy with myself. I'm not necessarily trying to win a beauty pageant here.

The greatest glory never comes from falling, but from rising each time you fall.

I'm religious. I think this is something God had planned for me.
