If I have a hit, then I hope the people who like the hit song go out and buy my album so they can hear it all.

I would like to say when I turn the project over to the label that I have been successful. And that's truly the way I feel. But, in addition to the self-pride in 'making' a good album, to be honest, I'd love to have a hit record!

I came along at a time when the industry was eating its young.

I guess we guess our way through life. How many times do we really know for sure?

I'm not a Democrat, I'm not a Republican-I'm an American, I'm a human.

I'd like my writing to be recognized with a Grammy.

I felt like a sinful person when I dated men and allowed them to feel for me in a way I knew I could never naturally feel for them. That felt wrong and a lie.
