If I Have Someone Who Believes In

My Problem Is That People Have Been Writing Books About Me.a Lot Of Things That People Write About You Are Incorrect, But You Don't Fight About It.

I'm From A Singing Family, But They're Not Professional Singers, Only Gospel - My Grandfather Was A Minister. I Started To Sing The Music That Was Out Then Because My Mother Used To Play It All The Time. It Was The End Of The '50s, The Beginning Of The '60s. There Was Frankie Lyman And The Teenagers, Etta James... We Used To Sit Outside On The Stoop And Sing. We Even Used To Put Our Radios And Record Players Outside.

I Am In Prayer For His Kids And The Family.

I Think A Responsibility Comes With Notoriety, But I Never Think Of It As Power. It's More Like Something You Hold, Like Grains Of Sand. If You Keep Your Hand Closed, You Can Have It And Possess It, But If You Open Your Fingers In Any Way, You Can Lose It Just As Quickly.

For Some Reason, My Main Movie, Lady Sings The Blues, To Me Really Isn't Me. I Really Can Let Go Of Diana Ross When I See The Movie. I'm Really Objective When I'm Watching It. I Liked That Movie So Much. That Movie Was Like Magic So That When I'm Looking At It I'm Really Not Seeing Myself, I'm Seeing The Actress. I'm Seeing Another Person, Not The Me Of Me.
