I used to tell my mother, 'I'm going to have to get a real job one day.' You keep saying this will end one day, but people still call us up and ask us to sing. It's truly amazing.

We never do two shows the same way. The audience has a lot to do with that spontaneity, and it's our job to satisfy them.

We always felt that there was some hanky-panky going on with our money. We were the No. 1 group in the world, but we weren't paid like that.

I'm not an original member, though I'm sort of an original member. I've been on a lot of records and took them to great heights. For them to make me the sixth Temptation is quite an honor.

The thrill of standing on the stage and hearing the crowd, it's the greatest feeling in the world. It's a blessed feeling.

When you're doing something you love to do, when you have a gift, it's the most rewarding thing.

My whole life, I've been a Temptation.

Country life is different from city life, but I think it was good for me. Working on the farm, I got a balance in my life.

St. Louis is the best thing that ever happened to me. I needed that peace in my life. And I've always been a semi-country boy.

I had some good Alabama raising. You might do something wrong, but you wouldn't do it but once.

I had a mother who prayed for me, and prayer changes everything.
