When I started to work with UNICEF, it was a new way of giving some love and care to the world.

How you looked was not important. It was what you did and how you did it. Decide to do it and then do it the best way you can.

If I was sad or afraid, I would sit in a corner and sing. If I was happy I would jump into the middle of the room and sing. It was how I expressed my emotions.

I do believe that if you haven't learnt about sadness, you cannot appreciate happiness.

All children are my children.

I think sometimes you are born with a song.

I thought it was respectful to each country to sing in their language.
