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.

If you're feeling low, don't despair. The sun has a sinking spell every night, but it comes back up every morning.

I love everybody. My heart's open to everybody.

I don't judge. I'm not God. We're supposed to be less judgmental and accept and be kind and love one another.

Even now, if I am thinking about spending a lot of money on clothing or furniture, I think 'I can't spend so much money on one thing; my poor old Daddy could have raised his family five years on that!'

Having a big gay following, I get hate mail and threats. Some people are blind or ignorant, and you can't be that prejudiced and hateful and go through this world and still be happy.

God is in everything I do and all my work glorifies Him.
