I don't ever balk at being considered a Motown person, because Motown is the greatest musical event that ever happened in the history of music

There is nothing that means more to a woman than a love she can count on.

There's so many wonderful gospel people out there, and I don't necessarily want to compete with those people.

I know what God did for me. I know that He is my way out and my way in. He's my way out of all this havoc and my way into paradise. He suffered for me and for everybody listening. God loves us so much. He tried a lot of things to get our attention. He tried a lot of things to get us back to Him. So He said, "I'll tell you what. I'm going to make it real simple for you. I'm going to send my Son. He's going to take on all your iniquities and all your sins. He's gonna die in your place so you can have everlasting life. All you've got to do is accept that.
