Music Has Its Own Depths, And I

There're Lots Of Musicians In My Family, Too. My Mother Sings Incredibly Well. I've Got To Make A Record With My Mother's Voice On It. She Sings A Lyric Soprano. We Do The Opposite. I'm A Baritone. She's A Star Singer In Her Church. She Always Does Her Solo.

Whatever One Is Creating, One Has To Stick To One's Guns And Just Do It. That Is All. Put Your Foot Down And Do Not Let Your Work Be Compromised.

I Don't Think 'pop' Should Mean That You Had No Talent.

I've Had More Misrepresentations Than I Can Handle, And People Have Told The Wickedest Lies About Me. A Lot Of Them Have Taken Their Frustrations Out On Me, And I Don't Like That Because It Can Wound. Not Necessarily Me, But Those Around Me. Journalists Can Be So Bad.

Survival Is My Primary Instinct...it's Out Of My Control. It's Stronger Than Me. It's An Outside Force, A Voice That Says 'do This For Your Life Or It Will Devour You.'
