I'm thankful for all the things that this job has given me and my family. But probably the thing that I am most proud of throughout my career is that not only myself but my family and the people around me have just been regular people which we are.
I hurt my wife my kids my mother my wife's family my friends my foundation and kids all around the world who admired me.
You know sit with your arm around a little kid and read. It not only teaches them to read but it keeps the family strong.
When I do get the chance I just love to hang around at home with friends and family.
In five years' time I'd like to be a mum. I want to settle down and have a family definitely sooner rather than later. I'd like to have finished my second album too maybe even my third. I'd like a sound that sticks around that other people are inspired by and that people know is me.
Do it no matter what. If you believe in it it is something very honorable. If somebody around you or your family does not understand it then that's their problem. But if you do have a passion an honest passion just do it.
I would prefer to have no money but to have a nice family and good friends around.
Sure I have friends plenty of friends and they all come around wantin' to borrow money. I've always been generous with my friends and family with money but selfish with the important stuff like love.
But the problem is that when I go around and speak on campuses I still don't get young men standing up and saying 'How can I combine career and family?'
We went to church every Sunday. When I was a kid the only time I sang was around my family.
