One of the things I'm real proud of is I just made a deal with 20th Century Fox, and I've got my own production company now. I'm developing some television and movies for other people because I have a lot of fresh new ideas. To write is what I love the most.

I'd love to develop and star in my own children's show, write children's books, do children's albums, movies, DVDs, etc.

I think that I know the value of a dollar.

I always loved books. I don't remember learning to read, it was just something I always did. I was hungry for knowledge, I guess, and information; I was a curious kid. I still am.

I listen to my old records and I think, 'How did I ever get on the radio?'

I feel that sin and evil are the negative part of you, and I think it's like a battery: you've got to have the negative and the positive in order to be a complete person.

It's almost like being trapped in some other form. The real me is so different from the way I look on the outside.
