I was very independent growing up, but there were things that were bothering me that I never told anybody. I would talk to our animals at home.

I don't find myself sexy.

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

I need you like the blues needs the pain.

I feel everyone is put here for a reason. Everyone has a calling. I always thought my real calling was to help other people.

To a world sick with racism, get well soon.

I was two when we left Indiana, and I don't really remember it that well.
