A strong spirit transcends rules.

Sometimes it takes years for a person to become an overnight success.

All these non-singing, non-dancing, wish-I-had-me-some-clothes fools who tell me my albums suck. Why should I pay any attention to them?

Despite everything, no one can dictate who you are to other people.

Every day I feel is a blessing from God. And I consider it a new beginning. Yeah, everything is beautiful.

I have a very thick skin. I take everything that comes and let it bounce right off me because I know the time will come when nobody will be able to speak falsely.

Even the soldiers need a break sometimes.
