He broke my heart, and now it's raining, just to rub it in...
Why give up before we try Feel the lows before the highs Clip our wings before we fly away I can't say I came prepared I'm suspended in the air Won't you come be in the sky with me
Every moment is beautiful; delicious even!
No matter how far you are. No matter how long it takes him. Through Distance And Time I'll be waiting ..
Why give up before we try?
Hand me the world on a silver platter, and what good would it be?
I think we deserve people who really, really love us.
I grew up in the middle of everything. I walked the streets alone, I rode the trains alone, I came home at three in the morning alone; that was what I did.
I grew up around the theatre. My mother is an actress. I would fall asleep on tons of theatre chairs. It's in my blood; it's in my spirit and my fabric of who I am.
I definitely want to act, but I also want to score movies, and I have this idea to fuse classical music with other styles that would give it a different perception.
I believe Aids is the most important issue we face, because how we treat the poor is a reflection of who we are as a people.
For me, doing a show, the excitement of singing live, and the possibility that you're not gonna be perfect - that's the thrill of it.
Failure isn't an option. I've erased the word 'fear' from my vocabulary, and I think when you erase fear, you can't fail.
