- When somebody does a club act, if they're into truth and honesty by singing songs they like, and wearing what they like and talking who they are, then the audience comes away feeling like they've really got to know them. That's a big accomplishment.
- When I was in high school I had a counselor that told me that I was crazy wanting to be a nurse ... that I was a natural born performer...
