As Soon As You Get Off Stage,

I'm Used To Getting Up At 7, Getting Breakfast, Getting The Kids Off To School, And Doing The Mommy Thing And The Wife Thing And The Daughter Thing.

Historically, In My Generation, All Of My Heroes And Heroines Have Had Issues And Problems. We All Do.

Time Has Nothing To Do With The Gifts That The Gods Give You; It's What You Do.

My Father Worked On Assembly Lines In Detroit While I Was Growing Up. Every Day, I Watched Him Do What He Needed To Do To Support The Family. But He Told Me, 'life Is Short. Do What You Want To Do.'

I Used To Sing At Funeral Homes For Families That Didn't Have A Vocalist. I Didn't Get Paid. I Needed To Sing.
