I finally faced the fact that it isn't a crime not having friends. Being alone means you have fewer problems.

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.

When I heard Aretha, I could feel her emotional delivery so clearly. It came from down deep within. That's what I wanted to do.

From the beginning, the camera and I were great friends. It loves me, and I love it.

God gave me a voice to sing with, and when you have that, what other gimmick is there?

You get that love from the people. It lets me know that all the madness I go through, all the stuff that the business has to offer with all its madness; it makes it worthwhile.

If you say my eyes are beautiful, it's because they are looking at you.
