When I Had Nothing Else, I Had

My Mother Was Raised Very, Very Strict Catholic In The Midwest. There Was So Much Fear And Intimidation [in The Faith]. So, Growing Up, I Was Always Looking For My Connection. I've Found Myself Praying Before Meals, Before Bed; There's Always Been This Gratitude For Things That Are Bigger Than Me.

I Have My Mother Who Is An Irish-italian, And My Father Who Is African, So I Have The Taste Buds Of An Italian And The Spice Of An African.

I Realize That I Want Something More. Success Is Great, But Then You Also Wake Up In Your Hotel Room At Four In The Morning And You're Like, Wouldn't It Be Nice To Have Someone Here With Me.

You've Got To Love What's Yours.

Why Give Up Before We Try?
