I don't care who's playing. Even if it's my favorite artist, I'm probably not gonna go and see him.

I'm not a braggart, but when I was a little girl people used to come from all over Hollywood to hear me sing.

You know the one with the big ears? Wait a minute, he ain't my president, he might be yours, he ain't my president. You know that woman he had singing for him, singing my song - she's gonna get her a- whipped. The great Beyoncé But I can't stand Beyoncé. She has no business up there, singing up there on a big ol' president day singing my song that I've been singing forever.

What happens is, when I perform, I'm somewhere else. I go back in time and get in touch with who I really am. I forget my troubles, my worries.

I figured I could do "It's A Man's, Man's, Man's World" because I believe it's the truth.

My mother always wanted me to be glamorous. When I thought about that, it really fired me up, and once I lost all those pounds, I started to feel really good about myself.

Once you lose the weight, you're really anxious to eat healthy.
