I stopped believing in Santa Claus when I was six. Mother took me to see him in a department store and he asked for my autograph.

It's definitely a dream come true to be recognized and to be able to sign autographs. But it's also a lot of hard work and can be draining. If you don't know already you will quickly learn who your real friends are.

If I had the hand strength to sign autographs for everybody in Kansas City I would... but its just impossible to get to everyone.

If anyone asks for your autograph they're showing you respect and give it back to them.

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.

I sure saw a lot of kids that I'm sure didn't know a lot about us or we were definitely new to them. The kids who came up to me afterward we'd talk about music sign a lot of autographs. So I'm sure we made a lot of new fans.

My mom is still yelling at me because she needs more autographed pictures.

I never refused an autograph never refused to buy someone a drink. Now I'm learning to say I've got other things on instead of doing it and wondering why.

One time I went into a restroom and a girl followed me in. I signed an autograph for her in the sink. It was pretty funny because she was in a guy's restroom and she wasn't embarrassed at all.

Some movie stars wear their sunglasses even in church. They're afraid God might recognize them and ask for autographs.
