I never tried quitting, and I never quit trying.
I still believe in Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and true love. Don't even try to tell me different.
You gotta keep trying to find your niche and trying to fit into whatever slot that's left for you or to make one of your own.
I try not to go around looking like a hag.
People just overshoot trying to find God. They're going outside and trying everything. They don't realize that it's right inside themselves.
I was born with a happy heart, and I try to keep a good attitude. It's not true that I'm happy all the time because nobody is, and we all go through our things.
I try to see the good in everybody, and I don't care who people are as long as they're themselves, whatever that is.
Music lives in me. Life is a song to me. I have the gift of rhyme, and I'm always trying to write and rhyme. Music is just natural everyday occurrence with me.
I've tried different things through the years to get some play on mainstream. I'll try to tailor-make it.
I'm not trying to be fashionable. Never was!
I'm trying my best to keep up with all this new technology, and I surround myself with all these wonderful people that are in the know and kind of help me out with all that.
I'm not happy all the time, and I wouldn't want to be because that would make me a shallow person. But I do try to find the good in everybody.
I can be accused of trying to be commercial sometimes.
I just try to be true to myself and look the way that I'm comfortable looking. Because if I'm comfortable with me, then you're going to be comfortable with me as well.
