The fact of the matter is, you don't give up what's natural. Anything I've fantasized about, I've done.

I don't know what would have happened to me if I hadn't been able to hear.

Drunken talk isn’t meant to be printed in the paper.

Sometimes my dreams are so deep that I dream that I'm dreaming.

I think that most great artists who are extremely known, as I am, would intimidate a lot of people. I don't want to do that to people, but I know I do.

Do it right or don't do it at all. That comes from my mom. If there's something I want to do, I'm one of those people that won't be satisfied until I get it done. If I'm trying to sing something and I can't get it, I'm going to keep at it until I get where I want it.

My mom taught me a lot. A lot about minding your own business and leaving other people's business alone. And let them think what they want.
