Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.

There is joy in work. There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something.

My travels led me to where I am today. Sometimes these steps have felt painful, difficult, but led me to greater happiness and opportunities.

It's been my dream since I was a child to somehow unite people of the world through love and music.

I wanted to be famous, I wanted everybody to love me. I wanted to be a star. I worked really hard, and my dream came true.

When you're singing you can hear the echo of people in the audience singing every single word with you, and that was that big dream that I had for myself. It's happening.
