With a voice like Ella ringing out there's no way a band can lose.

When I was a child, kids used to make fun of me because I was blind. But I just became more curious, 'How can I climb this tree and get an apple for this girl?' That's what mattered to me.

Sometimes, I feel I am really blessed to be blind because I probably would not last a minute if I were able to see things.

Sometimes we listen to too many commentators about things that don't affect their lives because they're in a different tax bracket. Or to the so-called clergymen giving their interpretation of God's word, and yet they're not rolling the same way in their own lives.

As much as I've been blessed to do, this is for me when I want to do what I really want to do as far as helping people. Obviously helping people with disabilities, I want - my desire is to in my lifetime be a very integral part of getting this country and the world completely accessible to everyone with any disability. There should be nowhere that we can't go, and there should be nothing that we can't do. Considering that we have the disability, whichever one it might be, we will be so on point with being able to do that we need little to no assistance.

My mother told me, if you call yourself 'Little' Stevie Wonder, you'd better be as good as Little Willie John.

My thing was always trying to do as much as I possibly could do. I wanted to do all the things the other kids did in the neighborhood.
