From the time I can remember my mother kept me in church. I think my first recollection of any place, being anywhere was in a church.

I've always been one to take chances and I've always been one to, to create or follow through with instincts.

As a matter of fact my, my very first time singing when I was two and a half, three, was in church. So, ahm, church is very, very much a part of who I am.

I don't ever feel that it's necessary to say certain things. I think we can be very suggestive. I think we can allude to certain things.

I just know that I wasn't happy where I was. I didn't feel complete. I didn't feel like I was contributing what I needed to contribute to not only to my, my, my fans that I had begun to gather but to myself most of all, most importantly for me.

Life didn't promise to be wonderful.
