“A program of "disarmament," while imperialist antagonisms survive, is the most pernicious of fictions.

Happiness is not what happens when everything goes the way you think it should go; happiness is what happens when you decide to be happy.”
“Describing the person I am would best be through music. When I'm up on stage and I'm singing my heart out, I am always reminded of life's best things.”
