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.

Total commitment is a crucial quality for those who want to reach the very top of their profession.

There is no greater power in heaven or on earth than the commitment to a dream.

My focus is my art, and that's what I love to do. I have to be really passionate in order to do something. I've turned down many things that I just didn't believe in.

To get something new done you have to be stubborn and focused, to the point that others might find unreasonable.

When you set out to take Vienna, take Vienna.
