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

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.

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.

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

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.

To the degree that one relates sensitively, appropriately, and even charmingly, to the people and events faced in business and personal life, success will follow.

I always wondered if they’d change you.

I've always given people the benefit of the doubt until they prove me otherwise.

We live in a society that likes to kick people when they’re down. Don’t be a fair-weather friend. Stick with people. They need you more in the tough times than they do in the good times.

Assists is what Earvin is all about. That's what my whole life has been, assisting others.

Kate had never been married, so she had no way of knowing if I was a normal husband. This has been good for our marriage.

Prepare yourself for the worst, and the best will always happen.
