As A Singer I Tried On All

The Sound Of Birds Stops The Noise In My Mind.

I Grew Up Not Understanding What Was True And What Was Not True. It Gave Me A Sense Of Unreality. I Was Told That This Man [mom's Lover] Was Not My Mother's Lover - When He Was. I Was Told He Was There As A Male Babysitter For My Brother So That He Would Learn Sports And Other Manly Things.

We Are In This Period Now Where We All Are Trying To Be In Shape Physically And Deny Ourselves Any Pleasure.

It Didn't Matter As Much Because I'm A Singer, Not An Actress, But My Face Is More Acceptable In A Way Now Than When I First Came On The Scene, Because I'm Part Black.

You Know, When I Was Diagnosed With Breast Cancer In 1997 I Realized I Had Spent Too Long Arranging My Attitude.
