I never thought, 'Oh God, I'm in Prince's shadow.' He'd been performing for years, and he was my teacher.

Oh, God, I would love to go and do a play someplace.

Oh God, don't envy me, I have my own pains.

I'd been a wedding singer through college, but after a few years of doing my best renditions of jazz standards to clinking glasses and the sound of forks on salad, I thought, 'Oh God, if this is all I do, I'll never be able to live with myself.'

Oh God, you know I have no money, but you can make the people do for me, and you must make the people do for me.

Oh God, are you supposed to collect things? I don't collect things. I like throwing things away.
