My mother was always fascinated with the fact that I could rhyme so much stuff.

You are the song of every bird, you are the poet's every word, every artist's picture, every writer's play.

Many of my friends are gay, male and female. I don't judge people. I don't care what people do in their bedrooms and people shouldn't care what I do in mine.

I don't make people bend over backwards, and I don't like that in people. I am definitely no diva.

I thank God for my failures. Maybe not at the time but after some reflection. I never feel like a failure just because something I tried has failed.

I'm working on my life story. I'm not decided if it's going to be a musical or a movie with music in it.

I never tried quitting, and I never quit trying.
