Always respect yourself and don't go out there disrespecting yourself.

I clean my house, although I have help. I'm on the floor getting spots. I can't stand a dirty house. I'm a cleaning fanatic.

I love Canadians because I don't see very much racism in Canada.

I truly respect the people who are working. If they want an autograph from Patti LaBelle, they are going to get it. I have never separated myself from them. I never think you are better than the next one.

I was a shy kid with a broom handle that I pretended was a microphone.

When I was married, I wasn't loving myself. Now I'm in love with myself. I will get married again.

Tell Aretha I’ll be praying for herBecause she needs Jesus!I love her.
