I'm not a braggart, but when I was a little girl people used to come from all over Hollywood to hear me sing.
I really turned into, you know, the real street kid. I was kind of like a runaway, but I had a mother, you know what I mean, and I had a place to stay.
My mother always wanted me to be a jazz singer, but I always wanted to be raunchy.
I'm not a bourgeois person, never will be.
Bobby Womack is always very real, both with his music and as a person.
When I look out at the people and they look at me and they're smiling, then I know that I'm loved. That is the time when I have no worries, no problems.
