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

Few things make the life of a parent more rewarding and sweet as successful children.

It is my greatest wish that the Children's Fund should continue to be a beacon of hope and light.

I figure all any kid needs is hope and the feeling he or she belongs. If I could do or say anything that would give some kid that feeling, I would believe I had contributed something to the world.

The purpose is Divine; the implementation is human. Our country and its government have made mistakes - human mistakes.

I am committed to my art. I believe that all art has as its ultimate goal the union between the material and the spiritual, the human and the divine. I believe that to be the reason for the very existence of art. And I feel I was chosen as an instrument to just give music and love and harmony to the world. To children of all ages, and adults and teenagers.... I love people of all races from my heart, with true affection.
