I just want to be able to get onstage and move and move around.

[I've worked as a guard at Rikers Island] from 1988 to 1990.

I just want to be able to get onstage and move and move around.

I can't eat processed food.

I sing because I'm happy.

I don't want to be home just taking medicine and waiting to die, you know? That's not something I'm about.

I'm blessed to be in an environment where people are sincere.
