I was born a singer. I need to do that.

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.

All children are my children.

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

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.

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

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.
