Love is a constant source of inspiration, surprise, and wonderment.

Love you all the time, 'cause when I close my eyes, I still can see your smile, it's bright enough to light my life

My mother had a beautiful, soothing voice that made me melt.

As an artist, you dream about accumulating enough successful music to someday do just one greatest-hits album, but to reach the point where you're releasing your second collection of hits is beyond belief.

Sometimes my mother had difficulty communicating with me about certain topics.

You want your fans to like what you do, because it's coming from your heart and soul. You write it, you produce this thing. It's like your baby.

All I tell artists is, 'Do what you love. Never let anybody talk you into changing what your musical idea is just to try to get a hit, because you're chasing your tail that way. It's not going to happen, and if you're successful, you have to do it the rest of your life. Stay true to it and do it for the sake of the art.'
