I'm a strong person. I'm a warrior and I know what is inside of me.

I believe in doing better work. Just like the old saying, 'You don't get older, you get better'.

People are always saying,'They'll take care of it. The government'll--Don't worry, they'll--' 'They' who? It starts with us. It's us. Or else it'll never be done...

Dancers come and go in the twinkling of an eye, but the dance lives on.

The record companies really do conspire against the artists. Especially the black artists

Children are the only ones who don't want anything of me.

I have a loving family, a strong faith and wonderful friends and fans who have, and continue, to support me.
