It's been quite a roller coaster ride, but I've grown and learned a lot about myself. The greatest thing is being able to interact with fans and touch people's lives... for that I give thanks.

We take food for granted, but it isn't a luxury for many people.

I'm not really religious but very spiritual. I give money to this company that manufactures hearing aids on a regular basis. More people should really hear me sing. I have a gift from God.

I'm a bit of a night owl because that's when I feel the most creative and alive.

So, where's the Cannes Film Festival being held this year?

The roughest road often leads to the top.

I find fragrance to be such a mood enhancer and definitely a seduction tool.

I'm an ocean, because I'm really deep. If you search deep enough you can find rare exotic treasures.

You used to have to sing and convey emotion, and now, well, technically you can do anything with technology. It sucks for music today, but that's why that old music feels so good to me.
