You get yourself up for it somehow, and your endurance and the crowd gets you up, too.
In complete darkness we are all the same, it is only our knowledge and wisdom that separates us, don't let your eyes deceive you.
There are people that regardless of what it is, if it's something that's stressful, whatever it may be, they don't eat, they lose a lot of weight, a divorce, they get real thin. I'm the opposite.
I like to read. Autobiographies.
I think it's been a little difficult at times for the audience, because they've told me they see me as a family member. So to see your little sister sing about sex... I think they are pretty used to it now.
It is my belief that we all have the need to feel special. It is this need that can bring out the best in us, yet the worst in us.
The greatest achievement to any human being is to love God, yourself, and others.
I still have certain goals that I want. Grammies... Other awards... an Oscar one day...
Competition is great. And as long as it's friendly and not a malicious thing, then I think it's cool.
As a child, I had to get up early for school or work. I'd get ready by myself. I'd set my alarm to wake me up very early in the morning, and be off to work, the family driver driving me every morning. I did it alone, my parents never coming in to wake me up.
I believe in a higher power. I believe in inspiration.
I would hope my legacy would be bringing smiles to faces. Happiness with my music.
You dont have to hold on to the pain, to hold on to the memory.
My dad taught us that there's no greater distance than that between first and second place.
