I believe it is in my nature to dance by virtue of the beat of my heart, the pulse of my blood and the music in my mind.

I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death.

In my conscience, I believe that my heart has been so oft on fire that it is absolutely vitrified.

I believe in my music.

I believe in music.

There must have been something in my nature - I believe, with all my heart, that I have conquered it now - which prevented me from being perfectly happy or making a woman perfectly happy.
