Next to ingratitude the most painful thing to bear is gratitude.

When you please others in hopes of being accepted, you lose you self-worth in the process.

Of course, of course I'm grateful. How can I not be grateful? I have been afforded such a wonderful life.

Ingratitude is the essence of vileness.

Because I now realize, after all this time, I have never truly felt worthy of all that I have been given.

I was at a point where I was ready to say I am what I am because of what I am and if you like me I'm grateful, and if you don't, what am I going to do about it?

It's only the giving that makes you what you are.

My body is a reflection of how grateful I am for my life and my health; there are a lot of people less fortunate than me.

The feeling of being accepted and acknowledgement and recognition and fame - I'm vain like everybody else. The feeling of achievement that I've helped the poor or somebody in need far outweighs the money.

Through my unique style of playing, I want to prove that you don't have to conform to be accepted. The greatest value comes from loving yourself for who you are.
