I think sometimes you are born with a song.

I always try to see things with children's eyes. Are they happy? Sad? What do they need? Everywhere I went, I realized that children are society's victims ... We have a duty to speak to political leaders, to influence people to give these children a better future.

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.

With my songs I tried to prove that there is love.

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

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

Once I was condemned to three months' absolute silence. As I could not speak, I wrote a book.
