I believe above the storm the smallest prayer will still be heard.

If there's something bothering me in the business end of things with people I work with, I just say it right out.

People just relate to me. They know I'm a regular person brought up in a hardworking, poor family, that I've had all the struggles that people have. I'm just a friendly person. And I hopefully have a good sense of humor. People get a kick out of my stupidity.

I look just like the girls next door... if you happen to live next door to an amusement park.

I wanted to write a book that talked about the emotions of children, which is the rainbow. We all have moods. We talk about being blue when we're sad, and being yellow when we're cowards, and when we're mad, we're red.

Those people who wake up and they're just beautiful, they're just born that way. Well that ain't me. I gotta work for everything I've got.

I don't have time to stand around and listen to an 11-minute song.
