We do two shows a night for five weeks. A lotta times we'll go upstairs and sing until daylight - gospel songs. We grew up with it...It more or less puts your mind at ease. It does mine.

I forgot to remember to forget.

The closest I ever came to getting married was just before I started singing. In fact, my first record saved my neck.

When I started singing, I weighed 153 pounds. I weigh 184 now. I haven't gotten any taller, but I'm putting on a little more weight.

I've been getting some bad publicity - but you got to expect that.

I’m so lucky to be in the position to give. It’s really a gift to give.

Money honey, if you want to get along with me.
