I'm not thinking with my head, I'm talking with my heart.
Since I was a little child, my nose - I think it's too big.
I think that life has a secret, and children they hold that secret. Maybe it's not given to everybody to discover this thing.
You don't think of the devil who's inside.
There's always a new thing happening to me that's even more extraordinary, so pressure gets harder. But I like it when it's hard. Anyone can do it when it's easy. When it's hard and you can do it good, you're proud of yourself. There's going to be more pressure as the years go by, that's for sure. But I think I'm a hard worker and I'm ready for that. As long as I believe in what I'm doing, the pressure is okay with me.
It's the moment you think you can't, that you can
Love doesn't think twice, it comes all at once, or whispers from a distance.
I think it bothers people to see people that are happy and successful. So they try to find what's wrong with them.
Oh, they're stealing 20 pair of jeans or they're stealing television sets. Who cares? They're not going to go too far with it. Maybe those people are so poor, some of the people who do that they're so poor they've never touched anything in their lives. Let them touch those things for once.
I wanted to partner with a beauty company that would develop a product in a line with my values. Like creating music, it is important that beauty products appeal to both one's senses and emotions.
There's people still there, waiting to be rescued, and for me it's not acceptable.
We need to serve our country, and be there right now to rescue the rest of the people. We need the cash, we need the blood, we need the support, right now we need the prayers.
This thing has really upset me, ... Since that story came out, everyone has been congratulating me, and I have to keep telling them that it's not true. I only wish it was true.
The way it was said makes it sound like I'm not singing live at my shows, which is not true. In the past, we've used instrumentation and voice samples on the up-tempo numbers. This just gives the dance tracks a bit more punch to enhance the live performance, but I think that's normal.
