We all require and want respect, man or woman, black or white. It's our basic human right.

Music changes, and I'm gonna change right along with it.

The man who gets me is getting one hell of a woman.

Now, occasionally I will still have that quarter pounder because I love fast food, but you have to keep it to a minimum.

R&B is not a fad; it's the truth.

I'm a big woman. I need big hair.

I love producing, writing. I rarely write with other writers unless I have a real great respect for them. Like Burt Bacharach, or Carole Sager, or Stevie Wonder. Somebody like Smokey - like that. Otherwise, I choose to write alone.
