God doesn't do the work for you; he does the work through you. It's not enough to look up; you must also look within.

I was a shy kid with a broom handle that I pretended was a microphone.

I just sing the stuff that makes me smile, makes me feel like I didn't sell myself out.

I always have to go that extra mile, and I do it and I don't mind doing it, but it isn't fair.

I'm no different than you.

I can't do some of the songs that younger girls like Mary J. Blige and Beyonce are doing. They have their own place and I have my own place.

In matters of the heart it is always better to want something you don't have than to have something you don't want.
