A person's either responsible for themselves or we're all responsible for each other.

Tolerance is the seed, and the gift of pure acceptance is the tree

The thing that makes me feel most alive is knowing that there's something that I have to do that I'm afraid of.

Some people just don't like to be their self. I'm always looking, analyzing myself.

I'm still afraid of things, obviously - we're human. But I like that feeling of being afraid.

The songs that I've written about Africa, and AIDS and HIV and about the power of humanitarian love, those songs, I'm gonna sing them because I know that it's real.

Success is clarity of my intention....and reaching that intention while being true to myself and with joy.
