I came from a mother and father who always made me secure in my beliefs, and that’s where the love came from Picture Quote #1

You have to wait for people to program you. The only difference is the amount of people that you’re going to reach but that’s going to even out in the next two or three years anyway. Computers are being bought faster than televisions right now Picture Quote #1

I’m recording freely, and if I make a song, I release it immediately, so I’m more likely to believe in one song at a time as opposed to albums Picture Quote #1
