I wouldn't even hold my kids sometimes because I didn't want them to spit up on me when I was dressed for an awards show.

To me that's a reflection of love, when someone can see you enjoying yourself, and want to participate, or want to encourage, or want to help you to do something that you enjoy.

I get out, I get out of all your boxes.

To those supporters who were told that I abandoned them, that is untrue. I abandoned greed, corruption, and compromise, never you, and never the artistic gifts and abilities that sustained me.

My parents had a love for music. There were so many records, so much music constantly being played. My mother played piano, my father sang, and we were always surrounded in music.

I don't need anybody to market or promote me. If people don't want to hear this music, then it's not for them. You cannot please everybody.
