« All quotes from this author
 

I'm not claiming divinity. I've never claimed purity of soul. I've never claimed to have the answers to life. I only put out songs and answer questions as honestly as I can ... But I still believe in peace, love and understanding.

And no one came to say that your life belongs to you and that the good is to live it.
