I'm Not Painting Myself As A Down-home,

My Mum Taught Me Great Manners. And She Always Told Me That You Can Be Or Do Whatever In Life, As Long As You Don't Hurt Anyone And You're Happy. My Mum's Great; I Adore Her.

You Consciously Look After Yourself, Whatever That May Be To You, Whether It's Going Out For A Few Drinks And A Bit Of Dinner, Or Just Hitting The Couch And Watching Tv, Or Going To The Gym Or Yoga Class.

I Must Say, I Am Thrilled With My Fan Base. For Some Reason Some Of Them Are Quite Young, So They Are Quite Frightened. I Remember When I Did 'click' And I'd See Adam Sandler's Fan Base. He's The Guy That People Feel That He's Their Best Friend, So He's Walking Down The Street And People Sort Of High Five Him And Want To Tell Him A Joke Or Invite Him To Come Home And Have A Sandwich With Them. Mine Are Not Like That. Mine Tend To Go: 'argh,' And Look Horrified. They Shake And Take A Picture From A Really Long Way Away. I Do Feel I've Got Quite Good, Respectful Ones Though.
