My father was a very disciplined singer who worked hard at his craft, and I was around that growing up.

The true musician is to bring light into people's hearts.

In every life we have some trouble, but when you worry you make it double. Don't worry. Be happy.

Here's a little song I wrote. You might want to sing it note for note. Don't worry, be happy.

Sometimes mistakes are the best thing that can happen, because they might lift you...out of your complacency, and open your mind up to a whole other area that you wouldn't have gone to intentionally.

To me, it's our job as artists. You must bring joy.

Improvisation is the courage to move from one note to the next.

When you worry your face will frown, that will bring everybody down, so don't worry BE HAPPY!:)

Music is so powerful, it needs to be used for some kind of redeeming work. To lift peoples spirits, to lift their souls.

Music is still part of my spiritual life. Sometimes I sing my prayers. When I get audiences singing, I hope I'm helping them feel connected to something beyond themselves.

Part of our responsibility as parents, as adults, is to set examples for children. But we have to like children in order to be really happy fulfilled adults

Your child is least interested in what the report card says. All that matters to him / her is what you say on seeing the report card.

My wife is so very important to me that it's made my mom more important to me. It's made every woman I know more important to me.

Acting allows me to tell a lot of stories, you know start at the beginning, finish at the end, and tell everything in between. Modelling is just an image.

This is the beauty I want. Beauty has got to be astonishing, astounding-- it's got to burst in on you like a dream, like the exquisite eyes of a girl.

You can never overlook a guy.

You cannot expect to live a positive life if you hang with negative people.

Very few people say no to the ­Grammys.

I don't think there is ever a wrong time for a polka dot.

I didn't study acting.

Don't say I don't get along with my teammates. I just don't get along with some of the guys on the team.
