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.

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.

Forever continue to love, heal and educate the children. The future shines on them.

A song is a mantra, something you repeat over and over. We need peace, we need giving, we need love, we need unity. I want the whole world to sing this song.

A lot of people have been overexposed. Where people are fed up. I pray that that never happens with me.

God has always been in my heart and a part of my life and my familys lives. It is through Him that we draw our strength.

I can tell you there are rewards that go far beyond money and public acclaim and awards.
