I love Bill Clinton. I think we should make him king. I'm talking the red robe, the turkey leg - everything.

I mean as long as I have been doing music I know I am only 30% of what I could be and want to be.

I think of myself as a serious artist. Sometimes you can get in your head too much about that and forget that you have to have fun. I've been guilty in my career about that at times. But the more I thought about it, the more I thought I didn't want anybody else to have a hit with it!

I think the best thing, or the greatest thing my girls have going for them, is having their mother as a role model.

When all is said and done, I'd never count the cost. It's worth all that's lost, just to see you smile.

I ain't as good as I'm gonna get, but I'm better than I used to be.

When I first started, I was really nervous. You could hear my voice quiver. So I started drinking a bit and that helped. A lot of entertainers have a few drinks before going onstage and don't overdo it. Me, it turned into a bigger habit. But I stopped that. I was getting older, and I was thinking about my kids. There's enough roadblocks out there without throwing in more yourself.
