I don't take compliments very easily. I think most musicians suffer from low self-esteem to some extent.

I believe 100 percent in the power and importance of music.

You have to choose whether to love yourself or not.

Whenever I see your smiling face, I have to smile myself, because I love you, yes I do.

Music reminds us that the universe loves us
