The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.
Mine is only one of the millions of hearts broken over the death of Whitney Houston. I will always be grateful and in awe of the wonderful performance she did on my song and I can truly say from the bottom of my heart, 'Whitney, I will always love you. You will be missed.'
We love singing harmony, ... And no one has to carry the burden of the weight, which is wonderful. ... There's no pressure. It really came together kind of naturally. We all loved the same songs.
Funny thing is that the poorer people are, the more generous they seem to be.
Someone once asked me, 'How long does it take to do your hair.' I said, 'I don't know, I'm never there.'
After momma gave birth to 12 of us kids, we put her up on a pedestal. It was mostly to keep Daddy away from her.
Being a star just means that you just find your own special place, and that you shine where you are. To me, that's what being a star means.

I have got little feet because nothing grows in the shade
No one could have been nicer, classier nor better looking than Dick Clark. I've had a crush on him since I was a teenager.
I was surprised to be nominated. I didn't expect to win, but of course it would have been great. There were only three songs, and I had as good a chance as anybody else. At least the guys that did win (rap group Three 6 Mafia for the song 'It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp' from the movie 'Hustle and Flow') are from Memphis.
I was so flattered and honored that they liked me so much. It really worked out to be a wonderful friendship,
I have a person who works in my organization who once was a woman and now is a man. I didn't know for years that this person had had a sex change. I know what a wonderful person he is, and I based some of my feelings (in the song) on my feelings for him and on knowing what he went through.
Many of the artists and musicians were already committed to family gatherings or other concert appearances, ... All of us involved want to put on the best show possible, so we decided to reschedule.
