A gypsy told me I was going to do great things. I was going to make all kinds of money.
You can be rich in spirit, kindness, love and all those things that you can't put a dollar sign on.
I always love working with children. I never had children of my own. God has his purposes. God didn't let me have children so everybody's children could be mine. That's kind of how I'm looking at it.
When you come from where I come from, if anyone in the family makes it out, the others kind of come with you.
I don't like to get involved in things that I am not familiar with. I'm kind of a hands-on type of person.
I come from a family of 12, so I kind of got a little lost as a child.
I'm the kind of person who would rather rock in my rocking chair when I'm old and regret a few things that I did than to sit there and regret that I never tried..
I have a big gay and lesbian following and they've been very loyal and kind to me.
We're supposed to be less judgmental and accept and be kind and love one another.
The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain. When I'm inspired, I get excited because I can't wait to see what I'll come up with next. Find out who you are and do it on purpose.
There was a circle of friends, and a circle of performers, and a circle of love at the old place.
I used to feel so proud to be there with what I thought at the time were where the legends and heroes has stood and had sung. And I've been in the business so long, I've almost become one of them. So it's like I'm standing in my own footsteps.
I've always admired Sir Elton's songwriting, musicianship and singing and I'm thrilled to be working with him,
I usually get up at 3 A.M. I don't require a lot of sleep, and if I get tired, I'll take a powernap during the day.
