Being happy with less is what makes a great human being, not a big house with marble floors, or everyone knowing who you are.

I tend to stay up very late at night, so I wake up later in the day. This allows me to be in the middle of my workday when I am onstage at night.

Maybe we didn't have many possessions, but we never went hungry, were cold, or lacked love.

I believe that having an open mind is one of the most important qualities we can possess. Once our minds close, we stop evolving.

Sometimes we get caught up in our troubles and our problems and we let life slip away, but life is precious, all of life, and one must try to take in as much of it as possible.

We need to learn how to love each other. If we cannot do that, then we need to learn to respect one another. If we can't manage to do that, then we must learn to tolerate each other.

The most important battle is one to conquer yourself.
