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

Going to the school to meet the visually impaired was special. I thought I was inspiring them. I was thinking what I could possibly say to inspire them. Instead of me inspiring them, I felt they inspired me. They showed me how much courage they have, and how hard these teachers are working for these children. They made me feel like I don’t have any problems in life. It gave me uplift. They made me feel so great.

The greatest things in life - truth, creativity, imagination, love, kindness, compassion -are already inside us, and they're all free.

Perhaps one of the most important lessons that I continue to have reinforced is to always have faith and believe in yourself. To never lose sight of who you are and to know yourself.

I am so happy that I didn’t go to school and I didn’t have anyone to tell me how to position my fingers on the piano correctly.

I truly believe greatness is in all of us. Don’t let anyone talk us out of our truth.

Creativity is an inherent human quality of the highest order. When we create, we become more than the sum of our parts.
