When I sit back in my rocking chair someday, I want to be able to say I've done it all.

the magic is inside you. there ain't no crystal ball

I would never stoop so low as to be fashionable.

Being a star just means that you just find your own special place and that you shine where you are. To me that's what being a star means.

I know that I always wanted things. I was always proud of my people, proud of my home, but I always wanted more. I think most people do.

I often get myself in love trouble because I'm so passionate; I love so much and so deep.

I've copyrighted 3,000 songs.
