I'll never forget that little apple box I stood on because I couldn't reach the microphone. My name was written on it and it's sitting at Diana Ross's house now. She has all my little doodling papers I would draw and write.

I've been through hell and back. I have, to be honest, and still I'm able to do what I do and nothing can stop me. No one can stop me, no matter what. I stop when I'm ready to stop. You know, and I'm just saying, you know, I will continue to move forward no matter what.

Music has been my outlet, my gift to all of the lovers in this world. Through it - my music, I know I will live forever.

Caring. And reading the Bible, learning about God, Jesus, love. He said, 'Bring on the children', 'Imitate the children', 'Be like the children' and 'Take care of others.' Take care of old people. And we were raised with those values. Those are very important values and my family and I we were raised with those values and they continue strong in us today.

I want people to hear or watch something I've done and feel that I've given it everything I've got.

I see God through my children. I speak to God through my children. I am humbled for the blessings He has given me.

I believe that through music we can help heal the world.
