I think my image gets distorted in the public's mind. They don't get a clear or full picture of what I'm like, despite the press coverage I mentioned early. Mistruths are printed as fact, in some cases, and frequently only half of a story will be told. The part that doesn't get printed is often the part that would make the printed part less sensational by shedding light on the facts.

The magic, the wonder, the mystery and the innocence of a child’s heart are the seeds of creativity that will heal the world.

I think…to give. In the best way I can, through song and through dance and through music. I mean, I am committed to my art. I believe that all art has as its ultimate goal the union between the material and the spiritual, the human and the divine. I believe that to be the reason for the very existence of art. And I feel I was chosen as an instrument to just give music and love and harmony to the world. To children of all ages, and adults and teenagers.... I love people of all races from my heart, with true affection.

Unconditional love is all you have. You can't overdose on love, you never can. It's a beautiful thing.

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

The record companies really do conspire against the artists. Especially the black artists

Just try to stay a child as long as you can. Don't force into adulthood.
