You can never go back to the first two albums in a career.

When I watched American Idol, I always thought Simon was the most realistic. Simon's like, It was absolutely horrid. That's what they tell in the music industry.

Although becoming a singer was my plan A after first hearing Whitney Houston when I was 17, I started off with plan B by going to the teacher-training college that my dad went to. It was a slow coming of age.

I often felt like I was walking around with this Scarlet Letter stitched to my chest from the way that people treated me.

I'll probably be 80 years old and still performing. Music is like fashion, it changes. But some things will always be the same.
