It's not what you take when you leave this world behind you, It's what you leave behind you when you go. ↗

I just couldn't stand school. If I went, I'd skip after the first class. I didn't like to be told I had to study and had to do homework. There's a fact that you have to want to learn. ↗

I never thought of having platinum albums and winning awards. I just wanted to write songs and sing when I started out in the music business. ↗

I've been singing since I was 8 years old and working in clubs since I was 14. I've been working full time since I was 16. ↗

I've learned the importance of loving what you do. I have also learned more patience due to the nature of the music business. ↗

I don't know whether schooling would have helped me get farther along in music at this time. I doubt it would have. ↗

My dad wanted me to play when I was a kid, so I learned to play the guitar. I pursued a career in music because I love it so much and I enjoy what it does to those who hear it. ↗

The peak of a career can only last so long. You go up and you try to maintain it. But, it can only last so long and then you're going to go down. ↗
