Together we can make a change of the world. Together we can help to stop racism. Together we can help to stop prejudice. We can help the world live without fear. It's our only hope, without hope we are lost.

I'm just like anyone. I cut and I bleed. And I embarass easily.

When I step out on stage in front of thousands of people, I don't feel that I'm being brave. It can take much more courage to express true feelings to one person.

I must endure...for the world for the children.

I don't like to see anybody hurt or suffer, especially children.

I want people to appreciate talent and ability.

Escapism and wonder is influence. It makes you feel good, and that allows you to do things. You just keep on moving ahead, and you say, 'God, is this wonderful - do I appreciate it.'
