The Devil is a liar. He cannot win. And that's all we're seeing is a bunch of devils [Donald Trump]. So we have to pray and just look out for one another. Keep your chest out, stick your head up and walk tall.

I just had a wonderful life, and I couldn't ask for anything else.

Whenever somebody tells me they want me to stop singing, I'm gone.

If I wasn't my age, I would turn a flip. I would do some cartwheels. That's how I feel.

I would get in fights a lot. My voice was so heavy, kids would say you sound like a boy, so I would start beating them up.

One day, when I was about eight years old, some kids pushed me on stage at school during a talent show because they knew I could sing.

I was not fortunate enough to run into Obama. We were at the same church per se, but I would never be there when he was there.
