I listen to most everything that's out there because I need to stay aware of what's happening in the industry.
I want an autobiography without revealing any personal information.
I keep a great organiser, I try to keep my priorities in the right place.
I just appreciate still having the longevity that I've had in my career.
I even thought of adopting a child as a single mother.
I think a responsibility comes with notoriety, but I never think of it as power. It's more like something you hold, like grains of sand. If you keep your hand closed, you can have it and possess it, but if you open your fingers in any way, you can lose it just as quickly.
I have never gotten into the label thing.
My family called me a wiggle tail because I was a little skinny, wiry kid full of energy.
Hair has always been important.
I don't have to sit around and wait for the next movie to come along, I can go out and sing.
I think that if my voice for some reason changes - because your voice does change - then it's time for me not to sing.
They tell me that it will be hard to find a man strong enough to love my own strength and independence, and not worry about being Mr. Diana Ross, but I disagree. I know absolutely that that man is somewhere out there.
I don't judge people by their sexual orientation or the color of their skin, so I find it really hard to identify someone by saying that they're a gay person or a black person or a Jewish person.
I know that my fans want to know who I'm sleeping with, but it's really none of their business.
