January 27th:
Quote for the Day:
"But when I would perform, it was all the whistles, it was the lights, it was the fame.
My personality is fairly easygoing. So if somebody came to see us, I always felt a responsibility to sign autographs.
But there was this other side where I thought "I'm signing autographs, and people think that this is it."
People want to know you. They want to touch you.
And you're giving yourself because you think "You like me, so I feel like I need to be what I need to be, to you".
But, I would look at it and think "There is more than this."
