I don't feel one's personal medical condition is everybody's business. It just isn't something you advertise, and it's not open to discussion.

Let's start with the church. As you know, it's my background, it's a natural setting for me and it's definitely my roots.

I donate heavily to the church and various churches in the Detroit community and food banks.

I love to sing. It's just a natural thing for me.

I love producing, writing. I rarely write with other writers unless I have a real great respect for them. Like Burt Bacharach, or Carole Sager, or Stevie Wonder. Somebody like Smokey - like that. Otherwise, I choose to write alone.

The milk of kindness flows through my body, I shall follow Jesus to the Taco Bell and give thanks.

Music changes, and I'm gonna change right along with it.
