All through my young life I wanted to sing, although nobody in my family knew it.

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

I will survive For as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive.

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 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.

That's why you find a lot of entertainers are insecure, because it's the perfect camouflage for insecurity.

That is what I liked about being on stage. I was comfortable there, and I could be myself with confidence.
