Envy is a sign of insecurity, yes; but so is longing to be envied.

War never leaves where it found a nation.

I still feel like five years old every time I step on the court. It's my sanctuary...I want to maintain the fun at all times.

Some of us must wait for the best human gifts until we come to heavenly places. Our natural desire for musical utterance is perhaps a prophecy that in a perfect world we shall all know how to sing.

We need more music that is passionate and meaningful and honest.
