My fans are activists they will fight with you to defend me.

Today we stand together all around the world, joined in a common purpose - to remake the planet into a haven of joy and understanding and goodness.

That’s why I hate to take credit for the songs I’ve written. I feel that somewhere, someplace, it’s been done and I’m just a courier bringing it into the world.

Heal the world! Stop the hate. Lend a helping hand to those in need.

I am scared of my father to this day. My father walked in the room - and God knows I am telling the truth - I have fainted in his presence many times. I have fainted once to be honest. I have thrown up in his presence because when he comes in the room and this aura comes and my stomach starts hurting and I know I am in trouble.

I have always felt compassion for the planet. Sometime I just start to get emotional. I cry because I can almost feel the pain in the air. I put it in words and in song and in dance I think that is what artistry is.

When you have seen the things I have seen and traveled all over the world, you would not be honest to yourself and the world to [look away].
