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

I think a great artist should be able to create any style, any form, anything from rock to pop to gospel to spiritual, just wonderful music where everybody can sing it.

I appreciate all my fans, on all occasions, everyday of my life. Its your presence & your loyalty that has given me great strength

The happiness and the joy that I see in the eyes of the children. They saved my life so I want to, give it back. I'm not joking.

No matter what age you are, if you have it and you know it, then people should listen to you.

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.

People always say the abused abuse and it is not true. I am totally the opposite.
