The best thing you have to offer the world is yourself. You don't have to copy anyone else. If you do, you're second best. To achieve success is to be first, and that's being yourself.

I don't want to just entertain people. I want to touch them.

Peace is a conscious choice.

Horses are creatures who worship the earth as they gallop on feet of ivory. Constrained by the wonder of dying and birth, the horses still run, they are free.

I think the biggest problem in the world is that we have a generation of young people, and maybe two, who don't think it's going to get any better.

We must begin to make what I call "conscious choices," and to really recognize that we are the same. It's from that place in my heart that I write my songs.

My purpose in performing is to communicate the joy I experience in living.
