Success takes us to the top and away from those we love.

I have a very deep and wide relationship with my fans.

I never took a music lesson in my life, it just came naturally.

I have always loved the process of making the music, reading the letters from the fans who get married to my music, have children to my music and play my music at their funerals.

I literally went from the outhouse to the White House.

I know that the internet has helped a new world audience find me.

To all the dreamers out there, don't give up on your dreams.
