The peak of a career can only last so long. You go up and you try to maintain it. But, it can only last so long and then you're going to go down.

My Mom and Dad had six kids, and four of the six were going down the same road I was.

When I got into my early 20s, I was going to bed one nightI was still drinking, still using drugs, and probably was drunk or high or both when I just picked up the Bible and started reading to go to sleep. I was amazed at how well I slept, but even beyond that, the next day, there was this peace of mind that was still there that I wasnt used to.

I wish at times I had finished school just to say I had.

I never thought I'd be a good influence on anybody with anything I did or said or sang.

I was in church a little bit as a very young kid, but, as they say in the South, 'it didnt take.' None of it took with me.
