“Standing alone,eager to just believe,it’s good enough to be what you really are,but in your heart,uncertainty forever lies,and you’ll always be,somewhere on the outside.”

I’m far from perfect. I’m still learning. I overworked myself, and I paid the price. I consider the breakdown a breakthrough. I needed to hit rock bottom. I needed to understand the cost of pushing so hard; fighting so hard against the system.

One day I promised God that if he would give me my voice back I would never smoke again. I got three octaves back after quitting.

Once I was a prisoner lost inside myself with the world surrounding me, wandering through the misery, but now I am free. Free to love, free to laugh, free to soar, free to shine, free to give.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully its not a freight train!

I don’t think anyone knows as much about what’s right for me as I do.

True diva could not live without smart remark every now and then, a good sip of water.

If you look inside yourself, and you believe, you can be your own hero.

I definitely feel more complete than before. There’s a void you have when you don’t feel you’ve found the other part of who you are, so I’m in a different place now and that’s nice to experience.

Lord knows dreams are hard to follow, but don’t let anyone tear them away.

If you believe within your soul, just hold on tight and don’t let go! You can make it, make it happen.

Basically, I started singing when I started talking. Music has just been my saving grace my whole life.

I’m not vain, I’m insecure.

I started writing poetry when I was six. I had this teacher who didn’t believe the poems I’d bring in were mine because they were dark and sad. But I wrote about what I experienced in my childhood.

Something in your eyes captured my soul, and every night I see you in my dreams. You’re all I know. I can’t let go.

I’ve seen the real extreme diva behaviour and I don’t think that’s who I am.

There’s a hero, If you look inside your heart.

I believe it is important that we Japanese write a constitution for ourselves that would reflect the shape of the country we consider desirable in the 21st century.

Religious faith, is a state of mind, that leads people to believe in something, it doesn’t matter what, without a whisper of doubt, or a whiff of evidence, and believe so strongly in some cases, that they are prepare to kill and die for it, without the need for further justification.

I believe in giving more than 100% on the field, and I don’t really worry about the result if there’s great commitment on the field. That’s a victory for me.

I believe that there is no doubts about who I am, an artist who loves music, above everything.

Suicide, is a persons privilege. I don’t believe it’s a sin or a crime it’s your right if you do. Though it doesn’t get you anywhere.

If you don’t dream big, there’s no use of dreaming. If you don’t have faith, there’s nothing worth believing.

If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him.

I used to believe in forever, but forever’s too good to be true.
