"You’ll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut."

"Day play, we play all day. Night fight, we fight all night."

"I don't like the sound of my voice."

"Music is the soundtrack to life. It plays the melody of our being."

"No one should judge what I've done with my life, not unless they've been in my shoes every horrible day and every sleepless night."

"The sweetest sound I know is the Muslim call to prayer."
