Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be.

I'm proud of being a mother, a wife, a daughter, and a sister, and a lover and a friend We're all God's children.

I have priorities. Maintaining my daughter is my first.

My daughter is my greatest inspiration.

I've turned down a lot of arena dates because I've done the big-arena thing. Now, I want to do something where people can feel me and I can feel them.

My name is not Susan, so watch what you say. If you still need her, then be on your way.

I feel so blessed to just have done what I had done. To be able to just use what God has given me is a blessing. You know, never mind the Grammys, never mind the records, never mind all of that. Just to be able to sing.
