Audiences aren't going to get rid of me. One thing I can say, with absolute certainty, is that my shows will still be performed when I'm dead, buried and forgotten. They're going to absolutely outlive me, which is a wonderful thing to think about.

I'm not a performer who will come on stage and tell you everything about my life. It's just not who I am.

I didn't used to do shows, because I used to be so shy. We'd perform, and I'd be at the back, thinking of another song. I was so shy, I ain't never getting in front of the camera; I would never get on stage.

When I'm onstage, I'm acting.

Performing is my therapy, to become different people onstage.

Most of my career has been about standing on a stage performing music to an audience, and once the show is over, they go home and I go on to the next show.

I have never been a different person onstage than I am off.

I've been performing since I was a child; my mother would have to pull me aside and tell me that I wasn't onstage. I was a cheerleader, president of choir, and in the school play.
