There was a time in the marriage when I could no longer look at myself in a mirror, couldn't feel I was a nice person. A bad relationship can do that, can make you doubt everything good you ever felt about yourself.

If you can think it, you can do it

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.

I have been consistent by staying true to who I am and will continue to sing the type of songs that those who have continued to support my career expect from me.

I have no desire to look back, I only want to look forward to the things that are still ahead of me.

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

A fool will lose tomorrow reaching back for yesterday
