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

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'm very spontaneous.

I've never been with a woman, so I guess I'm straight, OK? But I'm straight enough to know the difference between right and wrong. I am straight enough to know that if you want to marry whoever you want to marry, you should be able to marry whoever you want to marry

Women are strong now. Women are dominating the charts, and women are doing it for themselves. We're kicking butt and taking no prisoners.

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