Know the business you're in for whatever you do, know it and understand how it works so you can be successful.

If love found me it can surely find you. I ain't even got one sad tear left in me.

I've had great people come in my life, meaning not just men, but women, support me and empower me. So that has lifted me to be the woman I am.

Just be open, life is about a constant journey and I'm very spiritual, but I'm also in touch with what's going on around me and who I am, and you have to know yourself. So for me, that's what keeps me going is just being interactive.

I'm everything I'm made of. So a part of me is made of classical music. I'm grateful for it.

I love opera so much. I would never go back to doing it, but I love to listen - I'm grateful for it. I studied diction, breathing control, phrasing, why the song means something. You want to bring that across to your listeners.

Be careful of who and what you let into your space. Not everyone is worthy of your presence.
