The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.
When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times…I learned very early in life that: ‘Without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain’t got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend – without a song.’ So I keep singing a song. Goodnight. Thank you.
For me, the life of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, … is an inspiration and an anchor in my life.

I’ve never gotten over what they call stagefright. I go through it every show. I’m pretty concerned, I’m pretty much thinking about the show. I never get completely comfortable with it, and I don’t let the people around me get comfortable with it, in that I remind them that it’s a new crowd out there, it’s a new audience, and they haven’t seen us before. So it’s got to be like the first time we go on.
I only earn 11 kroner per trip I sell, but it also becomes a part when I sell a million trips a year.
Never stop being a good person because of bad people.

Ike’s problem was that he was a musician who always wanted to be a star; and he was a star, locally, but never internationally… so he changed his name to Ike and changed my name to Tina, because if I ran away, Tina was his name. It was patented, as they say.
