People have the right to love who they love and nobody should have anything to say about it!

We all need to accept everyone.

Everyone has the right to love and worship whoever and whatever they want to. It's nobody's business but theirs. We are not the ones to judge that.

I would hope that everyone likes my music.

My music was made with everyone in mind with no prejudice towards anyone.

If you dont have any shadows you're not in the light

Never waste your energy to dwell on the past failures and mistakes.May you find renewed energy, courage and hope to pursue new adventures.

Whatever anyone does, / anyone says, in the/ past, now, everything, let/ it bounce off the rock/ of yr gladness (yr mirror)

I approach the singing kind of like with dialect thoughts in my mind. I have to sound like this on certain things to give that Frankie Valli flavor.

I am the astronaut of boxing. Joe Louis and Dempsey were just jet pilots. I'm in a world of my own.

Shibuya is a trendy part of Tokyo where young people come to meet and have a good time.

I've been a vegetarian for a while now and I try to give my body plenty of what it craves.
