So if diva means giving your best, then yes, I guess I am a diva.

Every exit is an entrance to someplace else.

Here's the thing about faith: It gives us the strength to go on when we want to give in. It gives us the courage to get up when we want to lie down. It gives us the power to make a way out of no way when there ain't no way. Just as love can't make you strong until love has made you weak, well, faith can't lift you up until life has knocked you down. With faith or without it, we can't stop the waves. But with it, we don't need to. Because with it we can ride the surf.

All these little heifers who can't sing are called ‘divas’.

I never wanted to go on stage alone because if you mess up, who can you blame?

I keep showing decade after decade that I am a real performer.

All I can tell you really is if you get to the point where someone is telling you that you are not great or not good enough, just follow your heart and don't let anybody crush your dream.
