It's the kind of turn that happened to the great country of Germany, when Nazis came over and created tragic things, and they had to be told off. And if we continue this kind of violence and accept it in our country, the rest of the world's going to really take care of us, in a very bad way.

I don't look down to an audience. I look up to them. They respond to quality.

Just give a drum roll, announce my name & I come out & sing. I have a contract that says I'm a singer. So I sing.

I have a very strong passion to sing and paint. I'm really a student.

To work is to feel alive.

I always feel the audience is my best teacher.

I try to tell the story about the song with the believability that I've lived it myself and I understand what it's all about.
