I like being a woman, even in a man's world. After all, men can't wear dresses, but we can wear the pants.
I believe that children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they possess inside.
I finally faced the fact that it isn't a crime not having friends. Being alone means you have fewer problems.
God gave me a voice to sing with, and when you have that, what other gimmick is there?
When I decided to be a singer, my mother warned me I'd be alone a lot. Basically we all are.
I wanted to be a teacher. I love children, so I wanted to deal with children. Then I wanted to be a veterinarian. But by the age of ten or eleven, when I opened my mouth and said, 'Oh, God, what's this?' I kind of knew teaching and being a veterinarian were gonna have to wait.
When I decided to be a singer, my mother warned me I'd be alone a lot. Basically we all are. Loneliness comes with life.
