I think you can have it all, you just have to work really hard because great things don't come easily.

I'm scared. I'm excited. I'm ready for whatever happens but I think that fame is what comes along with the territory when you open yourself up and become this story, this book for anyone to read.

I grew up listening to gospel. That was the only thing that I had reference to because that was what my family was involved with.

I've actually always wanted to make something like an acoustic record.

My parents are very quirky, eccentric. They have their own world.

I wasn't allowed to listen to a lot of music growing up. It wasn't until I started to make my gospel record when I was around 14 or 15 that I started to be exposed to more outside influences.

But of course I love my Japanese fans and the show must go on, no matter the daily aftershocks or husband kidnappings! It's not right but it's okay
