There was no one around me who didn't work hard.

I knew that God put me on this earth to be on the radio.

My uncle was a hero, Lewis Roundtree. He was not even related to me really, but he was always called my uncle. He was like a father to me. I was closer to him than I was my father.

I think, in some ways, Michael Jackson is out of touch with reality, and I don't think he has people around him who can say, Michael, can't do this. Michael, you can't do that. Michael, you can't say this. You know, I think he has been so big for so long that he can do whatever he wants to do.

You know, I think I still have a sense that no matter what you do, no matter what you achieve, no matter how much success you have, no matter how much money you have, relationships are important.

And I always found that the harder I worked, the better my luck was, because I was prepared for that.

I always felt more emotionally attached to Cambodia than I did to Vietnam.
