Through books and photographs, I saw a world that was not my own - and I realized that there was another world.

The Internet has changed everything. People will be discovered online. People buy music online. It's a completely different way to get entertainment.

If you pick up a ukulele, it will make you unbelievably happy.

Total contentment is only for cows.

Do I understand this right? I'm being marked down?

I read a comment that made me think I should stop singing for a while. And I didn't want to stop singing, because it was the only thing I loved. At first I thought, "Maybe I'll get better and eventually please the person who wrote about my singing." But then I thought, "I probably will never please this person. I should just do what pleases me."

I hope to keep entertaining in some way until I can't physically entertain any longer. It's what I was born to do, and I love this profession.
