I don't think getting in and out of a limousine has anything to do with being an icon.

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

My family called me a wiggle tail because I was a little skinny, wiry kid full of energy.

I really don't think that Detroit was any different than New York of Boston or Philadelphia. Kids always wanted to listen to music outside because that's where they hung out with their friends.

My father worked hard, but we were still very poor; and I didn't want anybody arguing about money, so I became the entertainer, the one who wanted everyone to be happy. I didn't want there to be any problems.

I just appreciate still having the longevity that I've had in my career.

I really think I want to live in a lot of places.I don't want possessions to hold me down.
