I'm so thankful I can write songs. I can capture all those memories in my songs and keep those memories alive.

We just seem to have lost all our morals and principles and values these days.

People think I'm as shallow and superficial as I look, and it's a surprise when they find out, sure enough, I am.

I don't keep up with a lot of trends. I've never been a fashion horse. I'm so busy writing my songs, trying to maintain my business, and all the new things that come along. I stay working all the time.

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.

Every day I pray about all I do.

I have a strict policy that nobody cries alone in my presence.
