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 the night falls, my lonely heart calls.

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.

Loneliness comes with life.

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

I like being a woman, even in a man's world. After all, men can't wear dresses, but we can wear the pants.

If I fail, if I succeed, at least I live as I believe.
