That's just how I live my life. That's how I was raised: to demand excellence out of myself.
Excellence is the best deterrent to racism or sexism.
I'd be lying to say I've not experienced a lot of racism in my life; it's very much alive. I don't let it bother me. I couldn't be the singer I am if I didn't let it go.
I was raised in the Washington household of my grandfather Senator Thomas P. Gore of Oklahoma, and have known politicians intimately all my life.
I was raised Catholic, and I knew of Him and certainly what He did, but I never truly experienced knowing Him.
I was raised Christian; I was raised in the South where everybody's raised Christian, but at this point, I'm 41 years old, and I've been an atheist, at this point, a little more than half my life.
I was raised to believe that you're safe in God's hands. But I don't feel safe with myself.
I've spent my life pursing excellence as an artist, which is what I always wanted to do anyhow.
I was always suspicious and looking over my shoulder because that's how I was raised.
