I think…to give. In the best way I can, through song and through dance and through music. I mean, I am committed to my art. I believe that all art has as its ultimate goal the union between the material and the spiritual, the human and the divine. I believe that to be the reason for the very existence of art. And I feel I was chosen as an instrument to just give music and love and harmony to the world. To children of all ages, and adults and teenagers.... I love people of all races from my heart, with true affection.

When you want to be close to me, listen to the music. The love is stored there and will not die.

I see God through my children. I speak to God through my children. I am humbled for the blessings He has given me.

I love great music - it has no color, it has no boundaries.

When I perform, I lose myself. I'm in total control of that stage. I don't think about anything. I know what I want to do from the moment I step out there and I love every minute of it.

Wherever you go, man-made things are man-made, but you’ve got to get out and see God’s beauty of the world.

I don't like to see anybody hurt or suffer, especially children.
