That’s why I hate to take credit for the songs I’ve written. I feel that somewhere, someplace, it’s been done and I’m just a courier bringing it out into the world.
Damned indecision and cursed pride.
I urge all young people to go for their dreams. If they do, many of the world’s problems will be solved.
They (children) are my teachers. I watch them and I learn. It is important for us to try and be like them and imitate them. They are golden.
Culture changes, fashions change, customs change. Great music is immortal.
Have you seen my childhood? I’m searching for the world that I came from cause I’ve been looking around in the lost and found of my heart.
We can help the world live without fear. It is our only hope, and without hope we are lost.
I am committed to my art. I believe that all art has as its ultimate goal the union between the material and the spiritual, the human and the divine. I believe that to be the reason for the very existence of art.
I want to do something to help those who lost their parents, who lost their mothers and their fathers. Those are our people. Those are our children. Those are our parents.
I love to create. I love to make magic. I love to create the unexpected.
I do disguises for different reasons. I like to study people – be like the fly on the wall. Even if it’s two old ladies sitting on a bench or some kids on a swing. Because I don’t know what it’s like to fit in an everyday life situation.
I love Switzerland. It’s so clean and cool. We don’t get much snow where I live so I get real excited in Lausanne and Geneva. I’d like to buy a house there when I’m older and settle down. It’s all so cute that it looks like a movie set.
If I am guilty of anything it is of believing what God said about children: ‘Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for such is the Kingdom of Heaven.’ In no way do I think that I am God, but I try to be God-like in my heart.
I’m a collector of cartoons. All the Disney stuff, Bugs Bunny, the old MGM ones. It’s real escapism, it’s like everything’s alright. It’s like the world is happening now in a far away city. Everything’s fine.
But if you don’t have that memory of being loved, you are condemned to search the world for something to fill you up. But no matter how much money you make or how famous you become, you will still feel empty. What you are really searching for is unconditional love, unqualified acceptance. And that was the one thing that was denied to you at birth.
I can’t ignore someone that’s in need or is hurting. How can people just turn their heads from something like that.
Look deep within yourself, and you’ll find something amazing.
All over the walls of my room are pictures of Peter Pan. I’ve read everything that Barrie wrote. I totally identify with Peter Pan, the lost boy from Never Neverland.
With two children of my own, I know what it means to balance the demands of family and career – and let’s not even talk about finding a date for myself. Rabbi Shmuley keeps telling me he’ll find me the perfect woman. My response is, ‘As long as she’s not a journalist’.
Yet, instead of loving our children more, we install metal detectors in our schools.
