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.

Actually I'm more passionate about dancing than I am about singing.

I have been to more than 80 countries, and there is not one-not one-that I didn't have women coming up to me sharing stories of overcoming major abuse, a bad marriage turning good, etc.

I grew up without a father, and my mother grew up without a father and her mother grew up without a father. So we have this long heritage of growing up without fathers.

I've written a lot of songs but I haven't had the opportunity to record a lot of them.

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

The respect that you should have for one another-I never knew any of that. So I suffered.
