I hope to use dialogue and culture as a means of bringing people of various cultures together, and using that as a way to resolve conflict.

I think risk-taking is a great adventure. And life should be full of adventures.

In the past, there's always been one leader that has led the pack to development of the music.

Each human being exists because there's something they have to offer for the evolution of the universe that only they can fulfill.

Singing is my passion, my first love and the secret of my energy. Music to me is like finding my inner self, my soul. It gives me a great joy to see audiences enjoying with me. I have given my heart to singing. When I sing, I can feel romance in everything around me.

I did have a very restricted, regimented life. There was a kind of happiness there, a contentment, but it was a small happiness within very clear and delineated borders.

As long as I am given the opportunity to keep performing and keep exploring in whatever medium, I'll be happy. As long as I get to spend time with my family, I'll be happy. As long as I can write in some form, I'll be happy. It is the essential things like that I equate with happiness.

My baby is the joy in my life.
