• And at the place where time stands still, one sees lovers kissing in the shadows of buildings, in a frozen embrace that will never let go. The loved one will never take his arms from where they are now, will never give back the bracelet of memories, will never journey afar from his lover, will never place himself in danger of self-sacrifice, will never fail to show his love, will never become jealous, will never fall in love with someone else, will never lose the passion of this instant of time.

• I had a lot of ups and downs. I always said that if I were in a position to give back, I would and I have. As my name became bigger, I started giving.

When you become a successful individual, and have a thousand tasks going on, you forget that there are people in need. It keeps me grounded.
