The responsibility of carrying and bringing a new life into this world is one that cannot be taken lightly.

Having felt people's love and support first hand through difficult moments in my life makes me feel it's our responsibility to help one another.

You never know what life has in store for you, but I believe there are certain things one is meant to go through.

I spent 15 years on the road between touring and recording and I never saw anything. I want to enjoy life.

There are so many difficult things we're living through in the world today, so many horrible events, but we cannot let them stop us. No matter what happens, I feel you must move forward with optimism and not get totally sideswiped.

I applied for a job at 'The New York Times' many years ago, and felt correctly that my life depended on it.
