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

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

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

I'm so grounded, it's sad.

I just sing the stuff that makes me smile, makes me feel like I didn't sell myself out.

I have to go 150 percent or nothing at all.

I don't feel as though I have to prove anything to anybody.
