I'm going to keep on keeping on as long as I've got my health and strength, and God gives me that will to do it.

Every time I do a gig, my goal is getting new fans.

I'm lookin' at these Disney characters, these young girls coming out looking like, little whores.

To be honest, I didn't think I would be here for this album [Give the People What They Want]. I thought I was going to die. When the doctor came in by himself and told me I had cancer, it was frightening. He told me he got it and there would be six months of chemo. I really thought people would be promoting my record without me here to enjoy it. But I'm here.

There ain't no way I'm going to be droppin' nothing. If I was in my twenties, maybe. But now I try to keep it looking decent. I don't want to expose too much of my bare ass.

Music is my happiness, my joy, and when my body wasn't right I couldn't get into my music without being healed, without being healthy.

I'm grateful to be alive, because I really did not think I was going to be alive, onstage performing songs.
