I want to be remembered as a woman who was fair and always gave 150 percent, no matter what I did.

Every exit is an entrance to someplace else.

I never thought I would be singing for the world.

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

I've had 60 years of ups and downs, and all of the downs that I've had, I'm happy that I've had them because it's taught me to appreciate all the ups.

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