"We are all born special, I think we lose it along the way
somehow. Whether our parents don't tell us enough, or at all,
and its about finding that place within you."

"I set out to please myself, hopefully in the end, the
listeners will enjoy what I've created."

"If I wasn't singing, I'd probably be, probably an accountant."

"I sh*t like everybody else, that's the bottom line..."

"Believe in yourself. Have faith in yourself, because no
one else is going to..."

"My response to adversity is always the same-- work
harder"

"I can't believe people would pay to have their cheeks
done like these. I hate my cheeks, they've been like
this since I was a kid. They're just like my dad's, but I
have more meat on them and they'll hurt when I smile."

"I used to hurt so badly that I'd ask God why, what have
I done to deserve any of this? I feel now he was preparing
me for this, for the future. That's the way I see it."

"Self-expression is my goal, I want to be real with my
feelings. Singing and dancing-and all the joy that goes
with performing- come from my heart. If I can't feel it,
I won't do it."
