Growing around great musicians, you just can't help it. I identified with it immediately. It was something that was so natural to me that when I started singing, it was almost like speaking.

When you're feeling full of doubt and fear has got you in a bind, love will save the day.

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.

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

I have a mother that's very strong and family that surround me and constantly tell me they love me.

I would stay in my room for days, for days at times, just trying to get it together, to know what my next phase was going to be.

I'm just fiercely protective. It's like, that's my lair and nobody messes with my lair.
