I wish I could balance life as an artist and a mother, but sometimes when I am doing live concerts, I have to ask people to help me in my other role.

If I don't think about anything, and start with a clean slate, in terms of what I have to do, a lot of different ideas come up, and I can think about things more openly.

I stopped caring what people thought.

I think that ballads are always something where I can really become one with the audiance.

If I get to wrapped up in how I have to be, or what I have to do, things gradually get worse and worse.

Now, on nights that I can't sleep, I play video games alone until the morning.

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

Until now, I was insecure and I believed what the people around me said in regarding what I should sing.

When I was snowed under with the work of an idol, I didnt have time to think.

I guess you could say I'm cautious, or a coward.

Aside from my work, in my everyday private life, I'm not a very adventurous person. I don't look for change.

Make no mistake, little human. You are under my protection now, and I protect what is mine.

Resolution demands a sacrifice.

The dark uneasy world of family life - where the greatest can fail and the humblest succeed.

In art, immorality cannot exist. Art is always sacred.

I'm retired from the daredevil business.

Getting an unsophisticated client was the golden prize. The quickest way to make money on Wall Street is to take the most sophisticated product and try to sell it to the least sophisticated client.

all stories are like those about the creation of the universe, no one was there, no one witnessed anything, yet everyone knows what happened.

Religion-freedom-vengeance-what you will, A word's enough to raise mankind to kill.

The screech-owl, with ill-boding cry, Portends strange things, old women say; Stops every fool that passes by, And frights the school-boy from his play.

A system can not understand itself.
