Most People Are So Hard

If I'm With A Man I'm Soft And Buttery.

So I'm Not Worried About The Emotions I Carry With Me, Because I'm Happy That I Have Them; I Think It's Good For The Work I Do. The Emotions That Are Not Healthy Are The Ones You Hold Inside, Like Anger.

I Try To Choose The Songs That Really Are Basically Coming From My Heart. I Think That Through The Songs That I Select, People Know What's Going On In My Life.

It Takes A Long Time To Get To Be A Diva. I Mean, You Gotta Work At 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.
