You can be around 100 people and be completely alone. People don't realize what it's really like.

It was amazing to me that, all of a sudden, I was hearing my music on the radio and coming out of cars.

I just need to know that I did the very best I could and that I was true to myself.

I am not trying to change the world. I am just offering my gift that God gave me, and if somebody is moved by it, that's beautiful.

Change is growth. For me it has been a very spiritual and musical rebirth.
