"I've been told that nobody sings the word 'hunger' like I do. Or the word 'love.'"
"I never had a chance to play with dolls like other kids. I started working when I was 6 years old."
"It's like being a hooker. You stand there and you sing, and then you get paid. That's all it is."
"I'm not trying to be anybody else. I'm just trying to be me."
