I've been very blessed in my personal life and in my career and I have never been ungrateful for what I have.

Well, I'm not a critic, I'm just a worker. So, I'm always grateful for anything the critics say - good or bad.

My inner motivation is to make the world a better place; the bad guy and the good guy think the same thing.

I desperately want to see the day today and do the best I can not miss a shred of sunlight. It'll be over before I know it.

When I'm on the road with concerts, people ask me to autograph my CDs, but more and more they come up with the cookbooks.

When I was your age, I used to treat the crust like it was just there to hold the good stuff in. I used to leave the whole back end of it on the plate. As I got older, I learned to appreciate the crust.

Everyone's entitled to their own experience.
