Don't ever say it'll never happen or it'll never happen. And I can't get on no throne and preach, 'cause I'm not God.ĭon't give up, be positive and if you know someone who knows someone at a record company don't stop beating down their door till you get heard. 'Cause I'm no better than you, you, or you. Working in the studio is a more personal experience whereas on stage in front of a billion people, it's more exciting performing live.Īs far as men go, they never gave me a chance to be me they were always scared that somebody was going to take me.
