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

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

R-E-S-P-E-C-T, find out what it means to me.

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

I've been around long enough for people to know who I am and what my contributions are. They know me as more than just an artist. I think they know me as a woman as well.

And I've been hurt hurt bad. I might be just twenty-six, but I'm an old woman in disguise twenty-six goin'on sixty-five.

People really don't have to give you anything, so appreciate what people give you. And just don't let that go to your head, whatever it is they give you.
