I come from a singing family and as is said, 'the apple does not fall far from the tree.'

My motto in life is 'If you think it, you can do it' and if we all apply that thought we can end hunger the world over.

I have no desire to look back, I only want to look forward to the things that are still ahead of me.

A fool will lose tomorrow reaching back for yesterday

I have been blessed with some incredible compositions to record and perform and all of my songs have had the ability to grow as I and those who have supported this career of mine for these 50 years have.

I treat others exactly the way I want to be treated.

Years ago I learned to be totally responsible for Dionne Warwick. I will not wait for opportunities. I will create them.
