I don't like to have too many makeup artists around, so I always like to do my own.

If I'm with a man I'm soft and buttery.

I don't have to sit around and wait for the next movie to come along, I can go out and sing.

I have never gotten into the label thing.

It tickles me, my daughter said that to me. She said, "Mommie, why is it that every time they say your name they put your age right behind it?"

I lived on the north side of Detroit. Right down the street from me there was a young man by the name of Smokey Robinson. I was very proud to live down the street from him because he was our only celebrity in town. He was singing with the Miracles.

I was brought up in this part of Detroit that they used to call the ghetto.
