When I was singing, everybody liked me.

For my convalescence, I had to exercise my voice only with vowels. It is a medical rule after a long loss of voice.

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

When I was very young I was the ugly duckling. I had a lot of complexes. My sister was wonderful and I was nothing.

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

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.

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.
