Every time I would open my mouth to sing, everybody was paying attention to me. It became a habit.

There were wonderful moments when I was singing for the first time in the Olympia Theatre and I was pregnant with my son, which was very, very strange for a singer.

I have been so lucky to receive so much love from those who enjoy my music, that I feel I have to give as much of it as I can back to children.

Wherever you turn, there is always something wrong with the politicians. They have everything they need to save the world, and they don't save it.

The Berlin Wall go down, that was the most wonderful thing that could happen, absolutely. I celebrated with everybody in Berlin that day when the Wall was down.

My energy to sing, I get it from my singing. Singing was not a reason to make a living. This is the only thing I wanted to do.

It's nice to look good, but the most important thing is to be you.
