I'm 60, and I did 60-year-old women songs. I'm not trying to be the Hip-Hop Queen, although I am the original Hip Hop Queen.

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

I think the race situation is getting better as far as people respecting each other goes. I think the race situation with entertainment is not that much better.
