I have been nervous before, but I have never had stage fright.
Well, I was in a band. I was the singer with a band called the Soul Satisfiers. I sang then quite a bit of Jazz and some Top 40 stuff.
Well, I think it’s era that in which people had a lot of fun. In fact too much fun and would not concern themselves with the negative effects of the accesses that they were involved in.
The scripture that God used to save me was Isaiah 7.14, which today is still my favourite verse in the Bible.
The respect that you should have for one another-I never knew any of that. So I suffered.
That is what I liked about being on stage. I was comfortable there, and I could be myself with confidence.
Performing was easy because I believed that I could sing, but that was an outside thing.
Only if I could be known for being one of the world’s greatest and most sincere Christian Evangelists.
Personally I prefer Gospel music.
I have been to more than 80 countries, and there is not one-not one-that I didn’t have women coming up to me sharing stories of overcoming major abuse, a bad marriage turning good, etc.
So you’re back from outer space.
The better your audience, the more energy you have, and the more energy you have, the better show you do. The better show you do, the more they love it, and the more energy they give back to you.
God allows circumstances to build us up. God has got our back.
Well, we all know that self-esteem comes from what you think of you, not what other people think of you.
People always want to ask me about my drug problem – I never had a drug problem; I had a self-esteem problem!
Actually I’m more passionate about dancing than I am about singing.
I loved the fact that I could get on stage and be in control.
People are intimidated when they first meet me, but it doesn’t take them long to realise I’m just an average person.
I have never been a different person onstage than I am off.
I still love a variety of kinds of music.
