I wanted to talk about my life. There is so much. I was 18 when I made the record, and I had a lot to say.
Bound together by our beliefs, we are like minded individuals, sharing a common vision, pushing toward a world rid of color lines.
Add to the world's confusion, we teach our kids rules that we don't adhere to ourselves.
I need you like the blues needs the pain.
A lot of people who start work at a very young age never grow up because they never got that opportunity to be a child, so they hold on to that and still do a lot of childish, silly things.
I don't have a lot of friends.
That's a part of me going back to what I used to do.
I lose things all the time. I used to lose my license all the time before I put a place in my car for it.
When I'm feeling down on myself or not feeling good about who I am, or maybe something happened and I'm feeling depressed, I eat to fill that void. Afterwards I'll beat myself up about it. I regret doing it, but I'll turn around and do it again.
Everywhere I go, every smile I see, I know you are there smilin' back at me. Dancin' in moonlight, I know you are free 'cause I can see your star shinin' down on me.
Damita Jo. Jo. That's my middle name. It's let in about the different characters that live within me. They say we have 200 characters that we portray with different people.
You have to feel good about yourself.
My brothers were gone on tour a lot, and I would miss them so much.
There are two sides of the Velvet Rope. Those who want to be on the other side and those who are on the other side.
