I pray for miracles. I have always found prayer to bring quick results.

A song has to become as much a part of you as a tailored suit.

Detroit is full of talent.

A large family makes you accept sharing your parents.

The morning after my high-school graduation found me up early job hunting. The dream of college I put on the back burner.

I went from elementary school to proper training, operatic training, and I went on to the Motown University and learned a lot of things from some wonderful people.

I was stranded in Disco. I went to dozens of darkened places with enough flashing lights to drive the average person mad. I felt lost in the pulse of sheer panic.

I worshipped Berry Gordy for the creative dreams he had made come true.

Lead singers not only do the majority of the work, but their personalities are singled out and taken as the general attitude of the unit.

I don't worry about being in a hurry any more, because my faith in God will always deliver me on time.

You can't very well live in a castle while your kin is on the poor side of town and barely have enough food. Some want you to get to the top and rely on you making it for them, too.

The world I was born into was one filled with music.

Good and bad - this is the story of my life.

After years of making wrong decisions in my life, in 1977 I found out that it was all right to be square, simple, and sober.

Berry Gordy turned his house into a studio and discovered over 30 acts in the city. And we're famous all over the world.

There are times in show business when you work so much you think you will pop your cork, and then suddenly you can't find any work.

If you stick around long enough, people start referring to you as a survivor. Suddenly I found myself on the receiving end of several prestigious awards.

I have always thought music as a way out of the ordinary mundane obligations of life.

God uses singers in a mighty way, and I am grateful.

Divas need their furs!

Going on with life, it only gets more and more intense as time goes by - and the challenges only multiply.

Disco music in the '70s was just a call to go wild and party and dance with no thought or conscience or regard for tomorrow.

I still marvel at how God turns dreams into reality.

I will always dance in the street.

Most performers spend half their earnings taking care of family members.

Miracles, in the sense of phenomena we cannot explain, surround us on every hand: life itself is the miracle of miracles.

To expect the world to receive a new truth, or even an old truth, without challenging it, is to look for one of those miracles which do not occur.

We're very open and outspoken about our faith and our beliefs. We also talk about our doubts, our moments of insecurities. We talk about it all day, how we're inspired by God. We recognize little miracles every day, and that's how we're raising our daughter.

The maid that loves goes out to sea upon a shattered plank, and puts her trust in miracles for safety.

How quickly we forget God's great deliverances in our lives. How easily we take for granted the miracles he performed in our past.

Only he shakes the heavens and from its treasures takes our the winds. He joins the waters and the clouds and produces the rain. He does all those things. Only he realizes miracles permanently.

For those who are willing to make an effort, great miracles and wonderful treasures are in store.

There are no miracles in agricultural production.

Some may claim that is it unscientific to speak of the operations of nature as miracles. But the point of the title lies in the paradox of finding so many wonderful things subservient to the rule of law.

Thank God for little miracles, right?

America - it is a fabulous country, the only fabulous country; it is the only place where miracles not only happen, but where they happen all the time.

Good actresses can often accomplish miracles, and it is possible to be someone you've never been or will be. But in a sitcom, there's no time.

The Christian religion not only was at first attended with miracles, but even at this day cannot be believed by any reasonable person without one.

Back of every creation, supporting it like an arch, is faith. Enthusiasm is nothing: it comes and goes. But if one believes, then miracles occur.

Hope... is the companion of power, and the mother of success; for who so hopes has within him the gift of miracles.

Miracles are not contrary to nature, but only contrary to what we know about nature.

Love is the great miracle cure. Loving ourselves works miracles in our lives.

The world presents enough problems if you believe it to be a world of law and order; do not add to them by believing it to be a world of miracles.

In order to be a realist you must believe in miracles.
