I don't think I get the respect as a singer. With this record, I wanted to bring respect to my band.

All the doors that I had to close. All the things I knew but I didn't know. Thank God for all I missed. 'Cause it led me here to this.

It's hard to be married to me, and it was a lot harder when I was younger!

I just wanted to go out and make a record that Ive always wanted to make since I was a kid.

I'm a kid who grew up in an all African-American neighborhood and got into schools and aspired to just be me, and didn't worry about labels or anything. Just wanted to be a success at what I did.

I expect to make a career out of country music.

Whether it is a call to action for blood drives, disaster relief, or just community outreach, the American Red Cross does an extraordinary job at not only meeting the immediate needs of a community, but also the preparation and planning for long-term support.
