To me, ballads are special, because you can have a pop song that’ll be know for three weeks and then you’ll hear nothing else about it. Nobody else will record it and it’ll just be gone. But if you do a good ballad, it’ll be in the world forever.

When you have a special gift you don’t realize it because you think everyone else has the same gift.

I'm totally at home on the stage. That's where I live. That's where I was born. That's where I'm safe.

The deeper I go into myself, the stronger I become, because I realize that my real self is much bigger than any fear.

People think they know me, but they don`t. Not really. Actually, I am one of the loneliest people on this earth. I cry sometimes, because it hurts. It does. To be honest, I guess you could say that it hurts to be me.

I look at things and try to imagine what is possible and then hope to surpass those boundaries.

I believe in my heart that the music community will come together as one and rally to the aid of thousands of innocent victims, ... There is a tremendous need for relief dollars right now and through this effort each one of us can play an immediate role in helping comfort so many people.

I used to dream_x000D_ I used to glance beyond the stars_x000D_ Now I don't know where we are_x000D_ although I know we've drifted far_x000D_ What about yesterday_x000D_ What about the seas_x000D_ The heavens are falling down_x000D_ I can't even breathe_x000D_ What about the bleeding Earth_x000D_ Can't we feel its wounds_x000D_ What about nature's worth?_x000D_ It's our planet's womb.

Some friends, you only see them when the sun shines.. My fans sustained me even in dark days. I owe them everything.

They scream, they cry, they love, they support, they defend, they listen. My fans are everything.

I totally enjoy what I'm doing and bringing joy into people's lives. To me, and if I can bring one second of joy into a child or a grown-up's life, then I have achieved my lifetime ambition.

My attitude is if fashion says it's forbidden, I'm going to do it.

In the end, the most important thing is to be true to yourself and those you love and work hard. I mean, work like there's no tomorrow. Train. Strive. I mean, really train and cultivate your talent to the highest degree. Be the best at what you do. Get to know more about your field than anybody alive. Use the tools of your trade, if it's books or a floor to dance on or a body of water to swim in. Whatever it is, it's yours.

Often people just don't see what I see. They have too much doubt. You can't do your best when you're doubting yourself. If you don't believe in yourself, who will?

I'm starting with the man in the mirror

Please go for your dreams. Whatever your ideals, you can become whatever you want to become.

Before you judge me , try hard to love me , look within your heart Then ask , - have you seen my childhood ?

To give someone a piece of your heart, is worth more than all the wealth in the world.

Children show me in their playful smiles the divine in everyone.

Each song is a child I nourish and give my love to. But even if you have never written a song, your life is a song. How can it not be?

Sometimes the heart is so heavy that we turn away from it and forget that its throbbing is the wisest message of life, a wordless message that says, "Live, be, move, rejoice -- you are alive!" Without the heart's wise rhythm, we could not exist.
