I think secretly and privately there is a destiny for me and just for me to stay on that track and follow it. I really believe and feel I am here for a reason and that's my job, you know, to perform for the people and if they accept it that I am rewarded.

I think justice is important because there are many injustices in the world and I hate injustice.

I don't know what I could do besides sing but I'm not worried because I figure I've got the rest of my life to find out!

What can I do but bring forth the talent that God gave me? That's all I wanted to do. To share the love and gift of entertainment. That's all I want to do. I don't want to hurt anybody.

God created animals. And they’re loving; they’re beautiful. I feel the way (anthropologist) Jane Goodall does or any of those naturalists. I don’t find my interest in animals weird or strange at all.

Love, joy and peace for the world, that’s what I want...peace for the world and love.

I love to read. I wish I could advise more people to read. There's a whole other world in books.
