I was very shy. I'm still shy.

I haven't stopped looking for the good in people. I've just accepted the fact that I'm not always going to find it.

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

I know how to put it on when it comes to interviews and performing because I have to. But I'm pretty laid back.

A diva is someone who is a perfectionist, who does her best in her craft.

I have to go 150 percent or nothing at all.
