That's another lesson I've learned the hard way. All relationships will die if they aren't nurtured. Just as a flower will die if it's not watered. Because love is demonstration, not declaration.

I'm very spontaneous.

I'm very shy in a crowd.

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.

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

I like hip-hop music, but some of the lyrics make me want to cry.

Being honored at Berklee College of Music; I got a doctorate. I am Doctor Patti.
