I was compelled to perform. When I say perform, I was compelled to go out and do my engagements and not let people down and support them and love them. In a way, by being out in public, they supported me although they weren't aware of just how much healing they were giving me. It carried me through.

Helping people in need is a good and essential part of my life, a kind of destiny.

Death doesn't frighten me.

At the age of 19, you always think you are prepared for everything and you think you have the knowledge of what?s coming ahead.

I understand people's suffering, people's pain, more than you will every know yourself.

No one sat me down with a piece of paper and said, This is what is expected of you. But... I'm lucky enough in the fact that I have found my role... I love being with people.

I wear my heart on my sleeve.
