“This is the real me. I am a humble
person, a feeling person. A person who cares about others, who wants to help
others. And I want to be involved in doing that for many, many, many years.”
“So I’m proud of what I have done.
But I don’t need to come out and say ‘I helped this, I helped that’ because God
knows everything and I feel very comfortable about that.”
“Exactly. All around the world I
have to deal with my fame. I can’t go anywhere without being
recognised, which
can be very hard — but doing this, I can use that fame. It is such a great
feeling."
“This is what I want to do when I
finish my career, to do something in the future even bigger than this.”
