Before I put on my make up, I say a little prayer for you.

I have been consistent by staying true to who I am and will continue to sing the type of songs that those who have continued to support my career expect from me.

My self-imposed mandate is to be the voice for the voiceless.

I often feel the need of a man to take care of me, even though I can certainly take care of myself.

I still have some very dear friends from school, and we get together whenever possible.

It was step by step that I earned my way into the lives and hearts of people by giving them recordings that I grew to love and as I found my listening audience also grew to love.

All the stars that never were are parking cars and pumping gas.
