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

I agree that a well groomed appearance or a slovenly appearance says a lot about one's character.

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.

Well, we all know that self-esteem comes from what you think of you, not what other people think of you.

God was in control, and I was just pliable enough to say yes to wherever He would lead.
