I guess we guess our way through life. How many times do we really know for sure?
I felt like a sinful person when I dated men and allowed them to feel for me in a way I knew I could never naturally feel for them. That felt wrong and a lie.
I could kiss you in the rain forever Turn all your pain to pleasure Fill up all your days with sunlight Make the passion last every night Give you my every possesion Make you my only obsession Climb up to the sky and pull down all the stars above But I could never love you enough
I think I'm no different from any artist in music. At least once, you want to see your name up on the top.
I grew up in a very modest house. We were poor-we lived on the poverty level. We all got jobs as young kids.
Human beings are not designed to be alone. None of God's creatures are.
All I ever wanted to do was write songs and get on a bus and go play them for people.
I came along at a time when the industry was eating its young.
I wish I had a great relationship with my mother.
I'm very much a traditionalist, but I think it's important to know about tradition so that you can evolve the music you are deciding to make.
I've saved every dime I've made in my life.
I'd like my writing to be recognized with a Grammy.
I'm a Scorpio, and who knows if there is any validity to it, but I'm very emotional. I have high highs and low lows.
I'm not a Democrat, I'm not a Republican-I'm an American, I'm a human.
