People want to tear me down, they were going to knife me anyway.

I guess you could say I devoted myself so strongly to my music that for awhile I forgot about my family. But I only get one set of parents, and I think I forgot about that for a little while.

I don't like celebrities; I don't hang out with them; I don't relate to that life.

You ought to pity me 'cause there's always one man to love/ But in the bedroom the size of him's more than enough.

My "home" is a controversial topic. I don't exactly have one. I live all over the world.

It's been a very remarkable year, and I feel very blessed. I lived an isolated lifestyle before the media. I lived a life of solitude and loyalty and commitment to my work. I just don't prioritize my life in the same way that other people do. The only thing that matters is my music and my performance.

I consider myself to have one of the greatest voices in the industry.
