If we can move together as a species, I think that there is a possibility that we can make the world a better place. ”

I think that there's something really powerful about the sun and its effect on the human psyche. I lived in a place with no windows for twelve years. ”

I believe in the power of song. Under the spell of the right song, passion is within reach, love is close by, and you are not alone! ”
