I loved the fact that I could get on stage and be in control.

I had cars, houses, jewels, furs, and a husband who loved me, and a career I was happy with. But I found fulfillment in my relationship with Christ.

I have never been a different person onstage than I am off.

None of my family had anything to do with show business, my life was totally foreign to them.

My grandmother went to church, but my mother had been inundated with church and decided that when she had children, she would not push church or God on her children.

When I'm on stage, all is right with the world.

At first I was afraid, I was petrified, kept thinking I could never live without you by my side. But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong, and I grew strong.
