I love to be creative.

I believe that every person has uniqueness - something that nobody else has.

Even when I was very depressed, I could hold on to something. It seems that I have always had that streak of gold that I could hold on to.

If everyone would look for that uniqueness then we would have a very colorful world.

Depression is something that makes you lose your sight.

I practiced for at least two hours every day for twenty years, before then I practiced maybe four to five hours a day, and before then 14 hours a day. It was all I had ever done.

The other thing that has made playing live for me more enjoyable is the audience. I never knew I had such heartfelt, loving fans.

When you are live you never know what is going to happen.

If you copy then it is not self-expression.

The Holy Scriptures are words taught by the Spirit.

Fool me once, shame on youfool me twice, shame on mefool me thrice, I'm gonna get the frying pan!

It does not matter what you know about anything if you cannot communicate to your people. In that event, you are not even a failure. You're just not there.

We are all here to be a service to those who can't be a service to themselves. We can give people hope and more reasons for being human.

very few people change after well say seven or seventeen. Not really. They get more this or more that and of course look a bit different. But inside they are the same.

I decided to go to Latin America because many of my students in Washington emigrated from this region and inspired me to learn more about their home countries.

Politics is a game requiring great coolness.

Honesty is the rarest wealth anyone can possess.

There is one universal truth: All women, all over the world, want to look beautiful. That is always the theme of my designs.

I must create a system or be enslaved by another mans; I will not reason and compare: my business is to create.
