The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.

I'm a musician at heart. I know I'm not really a singer. I couldn't compete with real singers. But I sing because the public buys it.

People don't slip. Time catches up with them.

Unforgettable in every way, and forever more, that's how you'll stay.

I'm an interpreter of stories. When I perform it's like sitting down at my piano and telling fairy stories.

The people who know nothing about music are the ones always talking about it.

Smile and maybe tomorrow you'll see that life is still worth while if you just smile

I may be helping to bring harmony between people through my music.

Love is all, love is new, love is all, love is you.

You can't make a life over. Society wouldn't let you if you would.

I continuously strive to touch lives.

Reasons for anxiety will never be lacking, whether born of prosperity or of wretchedness; life pushes on in a succession of engrossments. We shall always pray for leisure.

Let yourself become that space that welcomes any experience without judgement.
