I can feel your body pressed against my body. When you start to poundin', love to feel you throbbin'.

I still have certain goals that I want. Grammies... Other awards... an Oscar one day.

You get yourself up for it somehow, and your endurance and the crowd gets you up, too.

I need you like the blues needs the pain.

By age seven, I used to comb my hair for performances, just pull my hair up into a bun. Granted, it wasn't a very intricate hairstyle. Still, to be that responsible and disciplined at age seven is unusual.

I like to have a lot of fun. I just don't see myself as being sexy. It's more sass - more attitude - than sex.

You don't know how many people come up to me and say, 'This child was conceived listening to you.'
