Every time we buy a CD or download a song, the artist is paid for their work. You might not know that this isn't the case when a musician's work is played on the radio.

I'd like to see a world free of strife, stress, pain, hunger, war - a cool place where everyone could live.

The problem with fame is you no longer belong to you. You lose your persona and become the object of other people's obsession.

I've had some incredible moments in my life - thus far. I hope a lot more are coming.

I first came to Brazil in the Sixties. Then I started coming back every year since touring most of the country. I grew to love it, the people, the music. I thought this is where I belong. I've been living in Brazil for the past 23 years. I call it my stress-free country.

My self-imposed mandate is to be the voice for the voiceless.

I hold all of the songs that I have had the pleasure of recording and performing in high regard.
