I choose to be authentic in everything I do

There's hope. It doesn't cost a thing to smile. You don't have to pay to laugh. You better thank God for that.

What is socially irresponsible, once again, is just all my opinion. But there are things that I don't think are cool.

It's in my music, and its on my mind all the time. To spread love, healing peace and joy is my mission in life - and so I speak up.

God is infinitely creative, and everyone's different, and everyone has a different path, a different lesson, a different song, a different face, a different voice.

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.
