You cannot trust 25 guys in a locker room to have the same respect and training as I do with a weapon. That I do understand. I've carried a gun for 10 years. I've carried them in the locker room and nobody really knows about it. I know how to handle myself.
I truly respect the people who are working. If they want an autograph from Patti LaBelle they are going to get it. I have never separated myself from them. I never think you are better than the next one.
There are lots of people I admire and respect but I don't necessarily want to be like them. I'm to happy being myself.
In fact I am quite snappy and irritable and I don't know if I'd like to make myself worse in that respect.
There are forms of art that I might not like to do myself but I still have respect for the artists who create it.
I have respect for what other people believe. What I believe in my own life is that it's a search for how I can do things better whether it's being a better man or a better father or finding ways for myself to improve.
Before you I engage myself to serve my country with the devotion and the exemplary that this post demands. I understand responsibilities of the job and as such I give a republican salute to Nicolas Sarkozy who has led France for 5 years and who deserves all of our respect.
I respect country music because I feel like it's more about the talent and the songwriting and I put on a big show and we have a lot of stuff but I feel confident in myself enough as an artist and a singer that I can have all of those fun toys and know that we don't need all the bells and whistles either.
I've got too much respect for stand-ups to call myself one.
Why do you think I write these feminist songs to try and teach myself to respect myself. You know it's not because I'm a hero.
