A lot of dreams can turn to nightmares... if you don't really work them.

I have two favorite colors - white and yellow. White makes me feel light and airy. Yellow makes me happy.

You'll never do a whole lot unless you're brave enough to try.

I love the energy of children. It makes me feel young. I'm just drawn to them. They're like magic to me. And they're drawn to me, the childlike part of me that never did grow up.

My songs are like my children - I expect them to support me when I'm old.

Music lives in me. Life is a song to me. I have the gift of rhyme, and I'm always trying to write and rhyme. Music is just natural everyday occurrence with me.

Nobody can ever make enough money for as many poor relatives as I've got. Somebody's got a sick kid, or somebody needs an operation, somebody ain't got this, somebody ain't got that. Or to give the kids all a car when they graduate.
