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. [...] In spite of the risks, the courage to be honest and intimate opens the way to self-discovery. It offers what we all want, the promise of love.

There's a Mother's Day and there's a Father's Day, but there's no Children's Day. It would mean a lot. World peace.

Don't be afraid to be different.

Live, be, move, rejoice -- you are alive!

I think God outdid Himself when He created children.

One of the best moments is right here (during History Tour in Copenhagen, on his birthday in 1997). Right here. It’s right in the middle of the show and it’s my birthday and I’m thousands of miles away from my family. When they surprised me with the full marching band and then they brought out this huge, beautiful birthday cake.. I realized that I’ve got family all over the world. Everywhere I go, because my fans really show me the love and I love them just as much.

I've never asked a girl out in my life, they have to ask me.
