Children are loving, they don't gossip, they don't complain, they're just openhearted. They're ready for you. They don't judge. They don't see things by way of color. They're very child-like. That's the problem with adults: they lose that child-like quality.

I've been through hell and back. I have, to be honest, and still I'm able to do what I do and nothing can stop me. No one can stop me, no matter what. I stop when I'm ready to stop. You know, and I'm just saying, you know, I will continue to move forward no matter what.

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

The lyrics, the strings, the chords, everything comes at the moment like a gift that is put right into your head and that's how I hear it.

I want to tell the children of the world, you are all our children, each one of you is my child and I love you all.

The press has made up so much...God...awful, horrifying stories...it has made me realize the more often you hear a lie, I mean, you begin to believe it.

You know I'm bad, I'm bad. You know it.
