I use Jimmy Galanos gowns for real special occasions and things - television, special occasions where I know I'm being filmed. But I never really wear his gowns on stage. My stage gowns are more costumey. There's different levels of things that I wear.I would never wear my stage gowns to a party.

My life has often been described as 'from rags to riches' but in fact, the Ross's were never raggedy.

I even thought of adopting a child as a single mother.

I listen to most everything that's out there because I need to stay aware of what's happening in the industry.

I think that if my voice for some reason changes - because your voice does change - then it's time for me not to sing.

Do you know where you going to? Do you like the things that life is showing you? Where are you going to? Do you know?

I want to go Africa. I want to go to China. There are some places I want to go not to work, but to really explore and to see for my own education.
