Truly to sing, that is a different breath.

Music is what I breathe, what I love to do. It keeps me alive.

There's another way of making music, by touching the lives and feelings of ordinary people.

Singing is like a celebration of oxygen.

Fortunately, I have always played a lot of sports, so I keep my lungs in good shape. That translates to singing as well.

Singing really oxygenates your blood. You stretch your lungs and take in much more air into them than before. It's really good for your health.

The need to make music, and to listen to it, is universally expressed by human beings. I cannot imagine, even in our most primitive times, the emergence of talented painters to make cave paintings without there having been, near at hand, equally creative people making song. It is, like speech, a dominant aspect of human biology.

You've got to find ways to breathe while you're dancing so that when it comes time for you to stop and sing again, you have it.

I think that's the whole point of music - to inspire people.

You must play for the love of music. Perfect technique is not as important as making music from the heart.
