The happiness and the joy that I see in the eyes of the children. They saved my life so I want to, give it back. I'm not joking.
When all life is seen as divine, everyone grows wings.
I have been the artist with the longest career, and I am so proud and honored to be chosen from heaven to be invincible.
To live is to be musical, starting with the blood dancing in your veins. Everything living has a rhythm. Do you feel your music?

Before you judge me, ask me about my childhood. And I will ask you about yours.
I think my image gets distorted in the public's mind. They don't get a clear or full picture of what I'm like, despite the press coverage I mentioned early. Mistruths are printed as fact, in some cases, and frequently only half of a story will be told. The part that doesn't get printed is often the part that would make the printed part less sensational by shedding light on the facts.

I always want to do music that inspires or influences another generation. You want what you create to live, be it sculpture or painting or music. Like Michelangelo, he said, “I know the creator will go, but his work survives. That is why to escape death, I attempt to bind my soul to my work.
I am bewildered at the length to which people will go to portray me so negatively.
I've been an ambassador of goodwill all over the world, spreading this message, did we do heal the world, treaty of all nations, circling this huge globe? What I don't understand is just singing about sex and "I want to get in a hot tub with you baby and rub you all over" and, but I get battered in the press as the weirdo.
I love the whole world of dance, because dancing is really the emotions through bodily movement. And however you feel, you just bring out the inner feeling through your mood...people don't think about the importance of it.

I love performing. It's a phenomenal getaway. If you want to really let out everything you feel, that's the time to do it.
I urge all young people to go for their dreams. If they do, many of the world’s problems will be solved.
