Of all the forces that are exerted on us over our lifetime, at least for me, love has been the most powerful of all.

There are so many messages and lessons that I have been taught that I would want to share with people. Perhaps one that is very present in my mind now is the concept that we are all living on this one tiny planet that we call Earth. It is very small and is not getting any bigger, but the amount of people living on this planet continues to grow at a rapid rate.

I'd decided to take the risk, and either I'd succeed or else.

My father taught me that one of the most important abilities in life is to be able to take the pain and persevere, and for years this lesson had served me well.

I don't dwell in the past; I don't wallow in old events and emotions. I don't waste time on regret. No use going over and over the details of what already happened.

When it comes down to music, I have no balance. I am 100 percent. It is like full throttle. Five hundred miles an hour.

You need a mind open to possibility, conditioned to love the creative spirit we all have inside ourselves.
