I'm just happy that I'm able to take care of what I need to take care of, live, and do the thing that I love the most and that is to sing. People want to hear it, buy it, see it, hold it, record it, bootleg it. It's fine with me as long as it's good but when it's bad I'm in trouble!

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.

Any success matters to me.

I love energy and people; gosh I love people even when they got on my nerves.

It takes a while to really love yourself...

Let your work speak for you.Stay humble.And just DO the work.

I study a lot of the greats; I study the current people out now and what people are listening to now. I don't shun anything away; I just check it all out and make my own judgment.
