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

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

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

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.

If you don't dream big, there's no use of dreaming. If you don't have faith, there's nothing worth believing.

My only contact with the outside world was an RCA Victrola, and Elvis would sing, and then I'd dream about expensive cars.
