A large family makes you accept sharing your parents.

Most performers spend half their earnings taking care of family members.

There are times in show business when you work so much you think you will pop your cork, and then suddenly you can't find any work.

If you stick around long enough, people start referring to you as a survivor. Suddenly I found myself on the receiving end of several prestigious awards.

I don't worry about being in a hurry anymore, because my faith in God will always deliver me on time.

God uses singers in a mighty way, and I am grateful.

The world I was born into was one filled with music.
