My Mother Taught Me That

Clive [davis] Tried To Tell Me That Saying Certain Words In A Song - Or As He Says, 'putting Some Balls Into It' - Isn't Bad, It's Just Strong Emotion. Well, There Are Certain Words And Emotions I Don't Want Kids Hearing, And I'm Not Changing Because They Think It's Going To Sell Better. This Is Going To Sound Horrible, But I Got 12 Million Votes Doing What I Did.

And I Think That When I Finally Decided To Let Go And Let God And Allow That To Happen, I Became A Lot More Successful Than I Could Have Done If I Had Planned It All Myself.

While Everyone I Work With May Not Share My Beliefs, I Have Been Surrounded By Nothing But Support.

I Think I Probably Hoped For It A Little Bit, But I'm Not An Optimist. I'm A Realist... Or Maybe Even A Pessimist.

I Really Love Live Performing!
