Simply, there are many things I would like to do.

I enjoyed the opportunities, but there was no time to think.

During my grief, I realised there was nothing I could do for my mother, but I did have a child.

Actually, recording the Suite Chic album was so much fun and while working on this new album, people that I've worked with from Suite Chic has lend their voice.

Up until now, I had ideas that I wanted to try but didn't have the opportunity to do them.

If I don't think about anything, and start with a clean slate, in terms of what I have to do, a lot of different ideas come up, and I can think about things more openly.

I think afterall, a promotion video is a piece of work in it's own right.

I get even more nervous singing when everyone's fallen silent, but I really try to communicate the meaning of the lyrics, and there's people there listening to that, and if they're moved by it, then I'm moved as well.

From my debut until now, I've always wanted to sing and dance.

I guess you could say I'm cautious, or a coward.

After I can be happy with knowing that I did what I wanted to do.

In the beginning, I didn't dance that much and stuff.

I had no choice in the decision to make myself available. I was not always doing things I wanted to do.

Even my closest friend said I was finished, but I think I may be a little different from the others.

Until now, I've not done a project where the produce, rapper and singer has never worked together like this before, and I had a chance to try a variety of styles.

Simply, there are many things I would like to do.

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

For the most part, I don't care about what everyone else is doing, or what is popular.

Now, on nights that I can't sleep, I play video games alone until the morning.

Aside from my work, in my everyday private life, I'm not a very adventureous person. I don't look for change.

Until now, I was insecure and I believed what the people around me said in regarding what I should sing.

My popularity plunged three years ago and I didn't try to court publicity.

I think that ballads are always something where I can really become one with the audiance.

If I get to wrapped up in how I have to be, or what I have to do, things gradually get worse and worse.

When I was snowed under with the work of an idol, I didn't have time to think.

People around me called me an idol, so that's what I was.

I came back to do a live concert. Nobody had done that before and I know my managers were worried.

I'm not completely at ease at rapping, I can't do it well yet.

I never had the chance to consider what or how I wanted to be.

I stopped caring what people thought.

If I can't get a mental image from the song, I won't sing it.

When I was younger, there was a huge gap between what I wanted to do and what I could do as an idol.

You don't have to know anything about the Shakers to appreciate Mr. Copland's score for 'Appalachian Spring' any more than you have to know who William Randolph Hearst was to understand 'Citizen Kane.'

It is because of hope that you suffer. It is through hope that you’ll change things.

More law, less justice.

Some people say video games rot your brain, but I think they work different muscles that maybe you don't normally use.

Any North American state is more important than Uruguay, in dimensions, in its economic force.

A man will do more for his stubbornness than for his religion or his country.

All partisan movements add to the fullness of our understanding of society as a whole. They never detract; or, in any case, one must not allow them to do so. Experience adds to experience.

I was that kind of kid that was going to the movies every weekend, I couldn't get enough of the movies, and now I get to make them. So I kind of have a one-track mind.

We have been learning since we were children how to make money, buy things, build things. The whole education system is set up to teach us how to think, not to feel.

I have a new television show in the works, and that is all I can say right now.

You learn fast from others how to be an entertainer as well as a musician; you don't necessarily have to get out there and just play - you can be an entertainer, too.

I have never been so calculating as to sing some Barry White song to get a girl. But I do think it's very romantic to cook dinner and sit around the piano at night and sing together.

Detachment produces a peculiar state of mind. Maybe that's the worst sentence of all, to be deprived of feeling what a human being ought to be entitled to feel.

It's wonderful to be back. Back among the mountains that remind us of our vulnerability, our ultimate lack of control over the world we live in. Mountains that demand humility, and yield so much peace in return.

Fashion is nice, but it's for the fans. If it were up to me, I'd be in a sweat suit!

I write novels with a lawyer as the hero, no matter how oxymoronic that might sound.
