Yes, I've always been fashion conscious.

As a parent you try to maintain a certain amount of control and so you have this tug-of-war ... You have to learn when to let go. And that's not easy.

Better friends than lovers. Sugar can't you see? You need you and I really need me.

Gospel goes with me wherever I go. Gospel is a constant with me.

I was in my dad's church, his Baptist church, and I think the first song I ever performed was 'Jesus Be a Fence Around Me.'

If a song's about something I've experienced or that could've happened to me it's good. But if it's alien to me, I couldn't lend anything to it. Because that's what soul is all about.

I saw the Supremes when they were still singing in little black skirts and white blouses.
