I'm short and I have a big appetite. I can't do nothing just a little. It's the same with anything I do. It's very hard for me to love a little, have sex a little, to eat a little. I like to do everything, and I like to do it all the way that I want to do it.

You gotta keep trying to find your niche and trying to fit into whatever slot that's left for you or to make one of your own.

I've never had a divorce, but I've seen so many of my friends, my sister, my family go through that stuff, so I try to write for the people that can't write about it. I take on their sorrow, so I'm able to kind of express it, or their joy.

All of my brothers and sisters are very talented. They all sang all right.

No one is ever successful at everything that they do.

Money is like the tide: It rolls in and it rolls out. If you clutch it, you are not going to keep it.

I do have a natural sense for business, which I think I get from my Dad.
