Music, I suppose, will be the thing that sustains me in the time of my life when I am too old for sex and not quite ready to meet God. It has always been an essential part of me.

If you can read, you can find books on anything you want. You can self-educate even if you can't afford to go to school.

I haven't stopped working since I was 10.

A baby, a real live baby was the craziest thing a fan has sent. Someone left a baby on our front doorstep with a note that they wanted us to raise it. Of course, we contacted the authorities and they took care of the baby.

I always thought that if I made it big or got successful at what I had started out to do, that I wanted to come back to my part of the country and do something great, something that would bring a lot of jobs into this area.

A gypsy told me I was going to do great things. I was going to make all kinds of money.

I always ask God to work through me and let me be a light of some kind and help in this world, so I always pray for that, and I always want to do good.
