Some boys take a beautiful girl and hide her away from the rest of the world, I want to be the one to walk in the sun.

Somebody did complain to me and tell me that my clothes were so loud they couldn't hear me sing.

If you can't go one way, there's many ways to get where you're going. So you just take a step back and see beyond the wall.

I get the greatest feeling when I'm singing. It's other-worldly. Your feet are anchored into the Earth and into this energy force that comes up through your feet and goes up the top of your head and maybe you're holding hands with the angels or the stars, I have no idea.

Understand where it is you want to go. Then picture yourself there. If you can picture yourself there, then you can be there. Bottom line.

I've always felt, even as a songwriter, that the rhythm of speech is in itself a language for me.

I've got a Grammy and Emmy, I'd like to have a Tony.
