- Thank you to everyone who supported me during my time of need. You know who you are! And to all who remain loyal to me. I won't let you down.

- My apologies to all my fans and friends that I turned my back on and didn't remain true to. In '95 it will be rectified.
- Much love to my family and extended family. To my record company and all my lawyers - Thanks!
