I decided to come back and teach goodness in this business. To teach love, because music is the universal language. We are God's bouquet, and through music we become one.

Elvis may be the King of Rock and Roll, but I am the Queen.

Like, my mother would have company over, and I would sing so they'd pay attention to me.

I would wear flamboyant clothes and long hair, and most singers at the time didn't.

But I'm a rock 'n' roll singer; that's my livelihood, my occupation.

I don't think a woman has to act like a man to show that she has strength.

I try to be a guide for people, to make their darkness bright and to make the pathway light, and never to condemn or control or criticize.
