Falling out of love is like losing weight. It's a lot easier putting it on than taking it off.

I remember singing around the house to records that were playing. All kinds of music. And the great James Cleveland was often in our house, and I grew up with his sound as well.

Women have broken through the glass ceiling, and they're now more and more in the power seats.

I'm the lady next door when I'm not on stage.

Being a singer is a natural gift. It means I'm using to the highest degree possible the gift that god gave me to use. I'm happy with that.

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

I love to sing. It's just a natural thing for me.
