My parents taught me everything and set me up for life. I owe to them all the things I'm passionate about: music, art, the people I love, my career and family life, the fact that I have children and the way that I raise them.

Worst parents unintentionally raise, the best parents.

They're in front of you in the supermarket express lane.

You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.

Everything I have, my career, my success, my family, I owe to America.

Our parents are not the only people on this planet, and we should not base our life choices on what they want (what will bring them a peace of mind, satisfaction, and give them a reason to brag), but we should make those choices keeping in mind that there are upwards of 7,5 billion people in this world, and that we should use our talents and energy trying to improve the lives of as many of them as possible.
