You could never in a million years have told me Prince would not be here today.

Right now I'm not involved with anybody, but I hope by 75 I will be again.

Being able to take care of myself is something that my mom really instilled in me.

When we started becoming friends [with Prince], I was really doing a lot of cocaine, and he hated that. Prince was so against drugs.

I said,'Instead of going in the direction that a lot of the women singers are going in [revealing], I'll be very, very sexy under 18 pounds of chiffon and lace and velvet...I will have mystique.

The truly incredible thing is were realizing that you can perform a two-and-a-half-hour gig without being high and still have a fantastic time.

Even the best intentions turn around one day... Nobody's right all the time.
