I have been nervous before, but I have never had stage fright.

I had a fear of being alone.

My audience is often hands-up, standing and cheering and on tables and all of that kind of things.

Well, I went through some emotionally abusive relationships and allowed myself to not be properly respected as a lady, as a human being even, though I tried everything I knew to be a lady.

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.

Performing was easy because I believed that I could sing, but that was an outside thing.

Well, for street clothes, a lot of what I wear is Jones New York. I am well-endowed in the derriere, and they can handle that.
