I've... been accused of being involved with every man I'm ever seen with or worked with. Maybe I have, maybe I ain't. I never tell if I have.

My first job was singing on the Cas Walker radio show in Knoxville, Tennessee. I was about 10 years old and I thought it was big time.

I'm a showgirl, as you can tell. I'm ever ready.

I usually eat breakfast twice. I'm usually up at 3 a.m. - do my spiritual work, my affirmations, a little bit of songwriting, get my daily work in order, and by that time I've worked up a bigger appetite.

I'm not trying to be fashionable. Never was!

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.
