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.

I know who I am inside and outside, and I know what I want to do. And I will always go with my dreams.

I prefer children because they are honest. They don't want anything from you other than to have fun. Adults have let me down. Adults have let the world down.

Going to my shows, it's like a religious experience, because you come out, you go in one person, you come out a different person.

I believe that all people living together in unity is one of the most important messages we can teach our children.

We only live once, since we are given the gift of life it should be our persistent endeavor to immortalize ourselves no matter what field of endeavor we choose.

Everything that I love is behind those gates. We have elephants, and giraffes, and crocodiles, and every kind of tigers and lions. And - and we have bus loads of kids, who don't get to see those things. They come up sick children, and enjoy it.
