I didn't know any gay people in my childhood.
I do believe that any successful business starts from the top and works its way down.
I don't have time to stand around and listen to an 11-minute song.
I don't make people bend over backwards, and I don't like that in people. I am definitely no diva.
I just don't have time to get old!
I know it's corny - but I love 'Jingle Bells!'
Sometimes a song just has to cater to whatever's goin' on. A well-written song is a song that stays true to the subject.
I listen to my old records and I think, 'How did I ever get on the radio?'
I ain't never far away from a pencil and paper or a tape recorder.
I think people take me as seriously as I want them to. They take me as seriously as I take myself - let's put it that way.
I don't have maids or servants, and my husband and I love waking up early and going to the 24-hour supermarket when there is nobody else there.
If you can read, you can find books on anything you want. You can self-educate even if you can't afford to go to school.
I think your values are always influenced by your family and your community.
I do have a lot of gays in my family now, but some will never come out.
