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

When I'm out on the stage, it gives me this rush and anything that's on my mind and everything I'm going through is forgotten about.

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

I always say you've only got one life to live, and you're not promised a tomorrow. So, you might as well just have a good time with it.

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 wanted people to see me, to change their minds about me.

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.
