I like to think of myself as a positive person. Otherwise I wouldn't have had a child.

There're lots of musicians in my family, too. My mother sings incredibly well. I've got to make a record with my mother's voice on it. She sings a lyric soprano. We do the opposite. I'm a baritone. She's a star singer in her church. She always does her solo.

I have just as much woman in me as I have man. It's just a matter of channeling the energy into which way you use it.
