I just love dancing. When the music is really hitting my soul, then I really want to get into it.
When people are screaming when I'm on stage, I can't even find the words to thank them and tell them how much I love them, but I'll never forget all these faces.
I'm 62 years old, but I didn't give up on my dreams. I just feel that God heard my cry, and he put the right people in front of me.
I can't make nobody believe in God. I can't tell you. But you got to experience it for yourself. When you find the true meaning of a spiritual gift, of what God give you? Nothing on this planet can give you that much joy.
I can't be angry at God. Look at all the love that he gave us. Look at the beautiful planet that he gave us.
I don't go on nobody's stage before I give praise to God.
Sometimes I have to run and hide. What I do at home sometimes is, I listen to a CD of the roughness of the ocean. I turn every light off, and I turn the stereo on, and I just go in my mind, cry, talk to God, tell him, 'I'm your child, too.' And I stay in my little solitude until I can get the strength to go outdoors.
I'm 63 now, and I need to take care of myself so that I can continue to perform at my best.
I was determined not to sit around and watch my life deteriorate. I kept reaching out in hope and honesty that someone would find me. I never gave up hope. I fell flat on my face and got up again.
I lived in the streets for three years when I was a kid, and every day, I didn't know where my next meal would come from.
If you're gonna sing, sing from your heart, and the world will hear you.
If you want to give a show, make it real, and people will listen to you more carefully.
If we don't change this world and look inside our differences inside of us, we gonna bring this world back to a hard point.
I'm trying to stay focused - trying to open up again - and the music really did a lot of greatness for me and meeting a lot of people that really had concern and compassion for me.
When I feel it, I got it, 'cause, like, on 'Changes,' I didn't never know what that song was, never knew who it was or who did it, but Tom Brenneck asked me to do that song.
America has been a very cold place to me, and it was good once in a while. I meet good people. Sometimes I meet bad people. But there are some things that I still haven't forgotten today that hurt that bad.
I want to sit in my own sorrow, cry it out, talk to God, and say, 'Give me strength, wisdom.'
I've fell flat on my face so many times, I'd rather be alone. I learned from the mistake, but I know I'm going to turn around and do it all over again.
If you're a real person, I don't care if you blue - I'm going to be your friend. Everybody's tired of all of the hatred and animosity. I just want to live.
All I want to do is get me a piece of land someplace where I can say, 'This is home,' and I got nobody bothering me.
