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.

One of the high points of my career was winning the Grammy for 'I Will Survive.'

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.

Only if I could be known for being one of the world's greatest and most sincere Christian Evangelists.

There's nothing to compare to live music, there just isn't anything.

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

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.
