Music has been one of the most beautiful things in my life and will always be a very big part of who I am and what I do.

When I went to do "Carson" that night, they wanted us to do two songs, but we were a brand new band. "Conga" hadn't even hit the top 10 yet. They go, "Do you think you could do something that people know, because we want you to do a second song, but not two originals, because we don't want to lose the audience, just in case."

My daughter is almost a young lady. She's going to be 10 years old in December and I want to be there day-in and day-out.

There are so many beautiful things that are a part of the world, and Ive always looked at life that way; Ive always tried to put on a smile and a brave front, not just for my kids but in my own life and all the difficulties that Ive gone through.

If there's ever been a dark moment in my life... well, I wanted to check out. Music was a big escape.

My guitar and singing was my way of crying.

To know that everything we say and do to this new little human being may have a profound effect on him or her is a daunting obligation.
