It's not easy that everything you do, everybody has to come in and critique it and give their opinion. Sometimes it does help me and sometimes it hurts me as a person. That's life. I have feelings.

One day I promised God that if he would give me my voice back I would never smoke again. I got three octaves back after quitting.

Cause there's a light in me that shines brightly. They can try, but they can't take that away from me.

Something in your eyes captured my soul, and every night I see you in my dreams. You're all I know. I can't let go.

This is for all of you out there tonight, reaching for a dream - don't ever give up! Never ever listen to anyone, when they try to discourage you, because they do that, believe me!

I am thinking of you in my sleepless solitude tonight.

I'm proud of what I am and who I am, and I'm just going to be myself.
