I already gave my best. I have no regrets at all.

I have had no professional training.

I'm always going to be just me.

I feel the producers really exploited my lack of talent at this time. I looked like an idiot up there. I want to be good, not something that people will laugh at.

I enjoy helping young children succeed.

I am not the worst singer.

I'm infamous, a joke. It doesn't make me feel good, because I'm a genuine person, but I don't let it get to me, because I am who I am.

I can't be anybody but myself.

I get to learn and teach something new everyday.

I enjoy tutoring. I just really enjoy the experience of teaching.

Singing and entertainment are now my first priority.

I decline to discuss, under compulsion, where I have sung, and who has sung my songs, and who else has sung with me, and the people I have known.

There is nothing so high as renunciation of self.
