To me, ballads are special, because you can have a pop song that’ll be know for three weeks and then you’ll hear nothing else about it. Nobody else will record it and it’ll just be gone. But if you do a good ballad, it’ll be in the world forever.

Real charity is giving from the heart without taking credit.

I love my family very much. I wish I could see them a little more often than I do. But we understand because we're a show business family and we all work.

Love and help all the children, all the days of your existence. They need us.

Children show me in their playful smiles the divine in everyone. This simple goodness shines straight from their hearts and only asks to be loved.

They (children) are my teachers. I watch them and I learn. It is important for us to try and be like them and imitate them. They are golden.

We are behaving like people without compassion and love for the most vulnerable section of society. The children of the universe are without a spokesperson, they are voiceless...We are all touched by the atrocities committed against children: sexual, physical abuse, child slave labor, educational neglect. We feel ashamed. Angry. Appalled. But there is no action...No action.
