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.

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.

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

I grew up thinking that singing was my security.

UNICEF has made the most rewarding thing that I have ever done in my life.

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.

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