Live your life to the fullest.

I'm proud that I've been able to work with other artists to make sure that the smallest voices - the voices of our children - have a chance to be heard. Artists can reach, inspire, and motivate young people and leaders in a powerful way.

A poor child who receives high-quality early childhood development is 40 percent less likely to need special education, twice as likely to attend college and dramatically more likely to survive childhood.

In the full light of day, I don't want to think about the sunset.

I love reading about history. Sometimes, I feel I was born in the wrong era. There was more creativity in the air when people were still discovering new worlds.

I think it's my energy and love of life that has been the real key to my fame and success.

I want some day to be able to love with the same intensity and unselfishness that parents love their children with.
