If people liked your singing well enough, if you were special to them, then you never left their minds throughout all of the years.

After the first couple of years recording I did a lot of praying. I said, 'Lord, please give me a hit.' I want one so bad.

I've always said that if I could have made a living someway in gospel music, I would have loved to had that break, but it never was offered to me, a job in that field, so naturally, I got lost on that other road.

There's nothing prettier in the world than a melody. I can get lost in a song with a melody.

Be real about what you do. Stay true to the voice inside you. Don't let the 'business' change what it is you love because the people, the fans, respond to what is heartfelt. They can always tell when a singer is faking it.

Different people have their ways of measuring success, maybe it's not the right way but wrong's what I do best.
