None of my family had anything to do with show business, my life was totally foreign to them.

I grew up without a father, and my mother grew up without a father and her mother grew up without a father. So we have this long heritage of growing up without fathers.

When I'm on stage, all is right with the world.

I have never been a different person onstage than I am off.

My audience is often hands-up, standing and cheering and on tables and all of that kind of things.

God allows circumstances to build us up. God has got our back.

Well, I was in a band. I was the singer with a band called the Soul Satisfiers. I sang then quite a bit of Jazz and some Top 40 stuff.
