Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Taylor: Some people grew up in close-knit families, they could identify with the sugar-coated, new-wave music that was popular in the '80s and even now. My home life wasn't very supportive or comfortable - with divorce (among other misfortunes). I had to make life-changing choices at an early age. And the whole time, I was listening to soul music - music where you can actually hear a man's heart break. So it just really made sense to me - even at such a young age.
-
Taylor: When you're doing something you love, sleep can wait.
-
Taylor: I was nervous. And when they called my name, I just didn't want my knees to buckle.
-
Taylor Hicks: Soul Patrol!
