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.

I've been in the entertainment industry since I was six-years-old ... As Charles Dickens says, 'It's been the best of times, the worst of times.' But I would not change my career ... While some have made deliberate attempts to hurt me, I take it in stride because I have a loving family, a strong faith and wonderful friends and fans who have, and continue, to support me.

I feel guilty just sitting around when I know I can be doing something.

I truly love my fans. Truly, truly from the heart. That's the real truth. I love them.

If you don't have that memory of being loved, you are condemned to search the world for something to fill you up.

You never know how long you have with someone, so don’t forget to say I love you while you can.

I don't know what I could do besides sing but I'm not worried because I figure I've got the rest of my life to find out!
