Scars remind me of just how far that I've come.

You collect impressions from people, from life, from your own daydreams.

I feel a real sense of duty to use the voice and the platform I've been afforded by my fame to speak out for those whose voices don't get a chance to be heard.

We know that many boys and girls leave school because of poverty, because they have to work. However, there are an important number of children who abandon their studies because of the abuses they're subject to by teachers and their own parents.

I thank God that I'm a product of my parents, that they infected me with their intelligence and energy for life, with their thirst for knowledge and their love. I'm grateful that I know where I come from.

Fame isolates people from reality. That happens to many artists, and I don't want it to happen to me.

Scars remind me of just how far that I've come.
