I have a loving family, a strong faith and wonderful friends and fans who have, and continue, to support me.

One day my dad said, "If you guys ever stop singing, I'll drop you like a hot potato." That's what he said. It hurt me. You don't say that to children and I never forgot it.

Magic is easy if you put your heart into it.

A song is a mantra, something you repeat over and over. We need peace, we need giving, we need love, we need unity. I want the whole world to sing this song.

It puts a smile on my face to see all the children, and all the teenagers, and the adults - the demographics - it makes my heart very, very happy. I love them. I love all the fans, very much.

Prejudice is ignorance.

The deeper I go into myself, the stronger I become, because I realize that my real self is much bigger than any fear.
