Don't try to be just like some other singer hitting it big - find your own style and be honest in your performances. And never underestimate your audience.

Regardless of religion or race or ethnic background we are all human and we are all on this planet together. So what better reason do you need to not tolerate any form of violence against another human being?

I don't look down to an audience. I look up to them. They respond to quality.

Sometimes the teacher would tell me that if you're singing a love song and you just don't feel it with a person or something you've experienced, just think of a dog or cat that you love.

Someday, when I'm awfully low, and the world is cold, I will feel a glow just thinking of you, and the way you look tonight.

Just give a drum roll, announce my name & I come out & sing. I have a contract that says I'm a singer. So I sing.

I've taken stuff from people, too. You know though, if you steal from one person, you're just a thief. But if you steal from everyone, that's research.
