They did it to try and belittle me, to try and to take away my pride. But I went through the whole system with them. And at the end, I - I wanted the public to know that I was okay, even though I was hurting.

People are always saying,'They'll take care of it. The government'll--Don't worry, they'll--' 'They' who? It starts with us. It's us. Or else it'll never be done...

The thing that I love most about being on stage is making people happy...It's my job to do that, and I enjoy it.

I am an Instrument of Nature..Love is my message.
