I been through some things but I worked hard to get to where I'm at.

I want to do all types of music, music for all people. I want my music to be encouraging, to help people.

I think my purpose was just to get out and sing. I love to sing. I wasn't even in it for the - you know, the prize. I was, like, 'Hey, man, I'm going to sing.

I want people to just to see, all you got to do is have a little faith.

When I realized I was having trouble reading, I was too embarrassed to ask for help. Some teachers believed in me, but I just wasn't focused on school - I was into the music and trying to please my dad.

I want to still be singing at 70 years old. I want to be open to the dreams I haven't even dreamed up.
