I always think I'm the Tom Cruise of music - a lot of success and fans, but no critics, darling.

I'm only as successful as the guy that lives down the street from me.

Nothing is as important as passion. No matter what you want to do with your life, be passionate.

I believe that we're only as strong as our neighbor is, and the idea that, I'm my brother's keeper works for me.

What drew me to politics in the first place was the fact that I wanted to have a place to take a stand and use my voice to express what I believed in. But I've no longer got any political aspirations. I feel that as a politician, fifty per cent of people would hate you before you even left the house.

Success is falling nine times and getting up ten.

My health and my family are the core of my being.
