Creative people have to be fed from the divine source. I have to get fed. I had to get filled up in order to pour out.

Gospel music is so ingrained into my bones. I can't do a concert without singing a gospel song. It's what I was raised on.

I admit I'm a fool for you, because your mine, I walk the line.

Every week, Dennis Day sang an old Irish folk song. And next day in the fields, I'd be singing that song if I was working in the fields.

Don't take voice lessons. Do it your way.

I developed a pretty unusual style, I think.

All your life, you will be faced with a choice. You can choose love or hate…I choose love.
