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

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 think one of the reasons I'm popular again is because I'm wearing a tie. You have to be different.

Regardless of religion or race or ethnic background we are all human and we are all on this planet together. So what better reason do you need to not tolerate any form of violence against another human being?

The young people look great on television. They’re youthful and have a lot of zip and energy, but when you see them live, they can only do about 20 minutes because they haven’t got the training to hold an audience for an hour and a half or so.

I plan to do my next two albums with Lady Gaga . She is quite a talent.

I always feel the audience is my best teacher.
