"My fans -- when I see them somewhere, outside my concerts -- I get that, that vibe. They're really supporting my projects and everything, because it's a first time that a Turkish singer is, you know, able to express himself out of Turkey."

"It feels wild, you know, because in the beginning I never thought it was going to really happen. It's all in Turkish, you know, and nobody understands a word. But I think it's a groove. It's the kisses that are universal."

"I was raised in Germany until I was 13, and then my family decided to go back to Turkey. It was good in a way, because I studied music. And I went to a Turkish classical music school and studied music for three years. And then I just realized that I can't do anything else but singing music. And everything just happened naturally."

"I think that my music is very unique and connects both worlds. That's the reason why I named my album Come Closer. I believe in cultural sharing, in the idea of we-belong-altogether. In my opinion, music should have no borders and we should all try to come closer."

"We need to know ourselves better so that we can realize what we really want in our life. I think that the first condition for a person to be in a successful relationship is to be happy with the person he or she is, in other words to love themselves."

"Moving to Turkey was the turning point in my life."

"I had always dreamed of being involved in a job where I could do anything related to animals and nature. A vet maybe. But later I came to understand that it was just a temporary interest and that music was more important to me."

"Dancing and singing were always like games to me. I sang constantly."

"Çişim var, ağabey"

"I don't care what people think. This is my life. I know who I am. I stood up for my rights and my life."

"生きるのは苦しいの同じくらい素敵なの"

"あとでわかるよ全ての意味が今はわからなくても苦しみも幸せも秘密もだからなげないで抱きしめていこうずっと It's My Life だから"

"でもあきらめないで話しかけたい言葉にもがいてもだって何度も思い知ってる誰も一人では生きてないよいつも"

"やさしさの意味はむずかしいいいと思いかけた言葉思いがけず傷つけることがあるかも"

"今日もがんばろう負けない強さを持とう愛する人のためにも"

"どんなイイコト素敵な言葉もその笑顔にはかなわない"

"今を越えてここを越えてまた笑って見せて"

"どんな時にもなげてはだめよそれはなによりチャ一ミングなこと"

"約束お願いはひとつだけ生きて生きて"

"I'm alright. I love you. I love my life. I'm always close to you."

"ここに生きてる意味がわかるよ生まれ落ちた喜びを知る"

"I've seen this before yeah I've been there too, This aint for me..not what I want, I've loved honestly and it always hurts, Can't feel this no more..it's gotta be true."

"I knew you are, Just like an angel sent from above, In your embrace, You give me more than, I could ever dream of."

"Our eyes have seen the skies burning red, Angels singing, voices full of dread, We see the lies but never ask why? The seeds of sorrow the blood they cry."

"La Notte, che tu vedi in sì dolci atti Dormir, fu da un angelo scolpita In questo sasso, e perchè dorme ha vita: Destala, se nol credi, e parleratti"

"You don't know what I'm all about / Like killing cops and reading Kerouac"

"We put a monkey up in space / and I know exactly how he felt / looking at a lattice work of stars / missing his brothers back home too much for a postcard"

"Be a believer / Believe everything / You'll be right half the time"

"Everyone tells me they're crazy / Crazy people aren't so fucking boring / Wake me when you're through being cool 'cause I'm snoring"

"The records I end up liking I don't like right off the bat. I want to call our next record Tenth Listen. That's the test."

"Turtle on its back in the desert sea / and you look like a cool drink / just slightly out of reach / Draw myself into the shell / waiting on a sign from God / or a nod from hell"

"Put my ear to the door / I just heard gunshots and hot rods and sirensPeople kill me these days / There's keys in their eyes but they lock from the inside"

"The trees creak with their arthritic arms / brittle in their powederd bark / this year took ten years to / tell me that I'm alone again"

"If it's sad / you know it's true / God is glad on bluer moons / When your room is all you do / it comes to you"

""Na vida quem perdeu o telhado"
