Dust does rise, doesn't it? And so can I.

Man will never understand woman and vice versa. We are oil and water. An equal level can never be maintained, as one will always excel where the other doesn't, and that breeds resentment.

I'm not psychic myself.

I often feel the need of a man to take care of me, even though I can certainly take care of myself.

It is frustrating to be a Black woman in the entertainment industry.

I have bought a lot of beautiful clothes with my money, but I've also earned it.

I have no desire to look back, I only want to look forward to the things that are still ahead of me.

I look at the careers of people I'm standing on the shoulders of. People like Lena Horne, Ella Fitzgerald, Sammy Davis Jr., and Sarah Vaughan. These are icons I wanted to emulate, and I feel like they've been holding me up for quite a long time.

I love what I do. I was given the most incredible gift that can be given to anyone. I could never imagine a world without music, and I feel grateful that I've been given the ability to share that.

I still have some very dear friends from school, and we get together whenever possible.

The problem with fame is you no longer belong to you. You lose your persona and become the object of other people's obsession. I feel watched 90% of the time, but that is something I drew with the cards that I drew.
