I think being jilted is one of life's most painful experiences. It takes a long time to heal a broken heart. It's happened to all of us and never gets any easier. I understand, however, that playing one of my albums can help.

Fear is the enemy of logic. There is no more debilitating, crushing, self-defeating, sickening thing in the world--to an individual or to a nation.

Whatever else has been said about me personally is unimportant. When I sing, I believe. I'm honest.

Trouble just seems to come my way-unbidden, unwelcome, unneeded.

When I sing, I believe. I'm honest. If you want to get an audience with you, there's only one way. You have to reach out to them with total honesty and humility.

The best revenge is massive success.

Stay alive, stay active, and get as much practice as you can.
