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

I donate heavily to the church and various churches in the Detroit community and food banks.

Call in the Caped Crusader, Green Hornet, Kato, too. I'm in so much trouble I don't know what to do.

Be your own artist, and always be confident in what youre doing. If youre not going to be confident, you might as well not be doing it.

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

I sing to the realists; people who accept it like it is.

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.
