There was a time in the marriage when I could no longer look at myself in a mirror, couldn't feel I was a nice person. A bad relationship can do that, can make you doubt everything good you ever felt about yourself.

A case of can't do with, can't do without, that's why I married him again.

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

The music for me is paradise. I think it's where God lives.

I have bought a lot of beautiful clothes with my money, but I've also earned it.

People like Ella Fitzgerald, Lena Horne, Marlene Dietrich and Sammy Davis Jr. all walked me down this path of entertainment.

I try to be cognisant of when and how and what I eat and get as much rest as I possibly can, as that helps the vocal cords.
