Me and the Dap-Kings, the whole band is playing a wedding band in 'The Wolf of Wall Street.'

Singing is my life. And when I can do that, that's when I'm free. That's when I'm at my happiest, I'm at my most.

I'm not going to sing something if it doesn't make sense to me, or if it makes me look like I'm begging someone or I'm weak, because that's not me.

I'm singing, you know, because I'm happy and I'm free.

Some people can sit down and write a song, but they can't go on stage like I can.

Play with me and you play with fire.

I'm going to keep on keeping on as long as I've got my health and strength, and God gives me that will to do it.

When I'm on tour, I don't see these spots as much as I'd like. I'm just in, I perform, then I'm out. I hope to spend years sightseeing, then more years after that.

I miss my hair, but I feel like going out there with some fake braids wouldn't be right. I want to be the most genuine performer I can be.

Faith opens many doors. Performance keeps them open.

Travel is glamorous only in retrospect.

The greatness of the enterprise does not always ensure success, but at least ensures glory.

What is important is to keep learning to enjoy challenge and to tolerate ambiguity. In the end there are no certain answers.

I'm a conservative because I believe in peace - real peace, not just the peace of mind. I'm a conservative because we understand that real peace comes from the Marine Corps, not the Peace Corps.

The financial industry is a service industry. It should serve others before it serves itself.

Everything begins as an internal reality and then is externalized through perception.

I know in this time of great technological advancement, the idea of reading a book seems almost anachronistic, but I think it's worth preserving.

I have a, shall we say, morbid personality.

Modeling is more fun in the Philippines
