I think they saw me as something like a deliverer, a way out. My means of expression, my music, was a way in which a lot of people wished they could express themselves and couldn't.

To me, true rock 'n' roll has a lot of bottom in it.

If at first you don't succeed, you get back up and you try ... and you try ... and you try it again ... except ice skating, I hate this crap, I quit!

I thank God for making me a man.

I'm very much a gentleman in what I do.

No, I've never truly been a minister.

I don't think a woman has to act like a man to show that she has strength.
