I learned that I had to believe in myself and not just to be comfortable with the opinions of others. I'm just more in control; I finalize everything.

I'll probably be 80 years old and still performing. Music is like fashion, it changes. But some things will always be the same.

Performing live is the greatest high in the world. That's why I do what I do

I am fed up with men who use sex like a sleeping pill.

I've always been able to do sprinkles of hip-hop here and there in all my albums, but I'm not sure how my fans are gonna feel about coming out first with something that's so hip-hop.

Cause you mean the world to me, you are my everything; I swear the only thing that matters, matters to me.

I take an active role in my imaging and how I look.
