Either you're a hater or a lover.

The only thing constant in the world is change, that's why today I take life as it comes.

In the quest for fortune and fame...don't forget about the simple things.

I say everything and I do whatever I want to do. I'm just me. The polished version of me, I suppose, because I have on clothes and makeup. But emotionally, I am very on the surface.

I started dealing with my emotional pain by writing. I always had been a writer, but just not songs. Saying things on paper that I would never, ever say, and saying things to myself, admitting things to myself, about myself and my personality, just putting it on paper, is how I deal with emotional pain.

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.

In reality, on the grand scale, in my opinion... we are actually all responsible for each other.
