When you know something is wrong for you, you have to make difficult decisions and trust your instincts.

Music is colorless. It's for everybody, it's for the world, it's for everybody to enjoy.

I know who I am inside and outside, and I know what I want to do. And I will always go with my dreams.

James Brown, Ray Charles, Jackie Wilson, Chuck Berry and Little Richard - I think they had strong influences on a lot of people, because these were the guys who really got rock'n'roll going. I like to start with the origin of things, because once it gets along it changes. It's so interesting to see how it really was in the beginning.

Have you seen my childhood? I'm searching for the world that I came from cause I've been looking around in the lost and found of my heart.

I am a slave to the rhythm. I am a palette. I just go with the moment. You've got to do it that way because if you're thinking, you're dead. Performing is not about thinking; it's about feeling.

My goal in life is to give to the world what I was lucky to receive: the ecstasy of divine union through my music and my dance.
