Honore De BalzacI look upon enthusiasm, in all other points but that of religion, to be a very necessary turn of mind; as indeed it is a vein which nature seems to have marked with more or less strength, in the tempers of most men.

Thomas HobbesAs a singer, I've had many opportunities to travel, and one thing I've learned is that through my music, I can be accepted by people all over the world.
