I am a very simple person. In spite of all that has happened to me, I have tried to remain the simple person I started out.

I was an elementary school teacher.

I think Beijing deserves the Olympics in order to be with all the rest of the world recognized.

Music making is the most joyful activity possible, the most perfect expression of any emotion.

You don't need any brains to listen to music.

Children should be given the chance to play instruments, to sing.

I want to be famous everywhere.
