Black Women Are The Strongest Most Hardworking

If There Were No Guns, We Couldn't Talk About It, ... You Turn On Tv, You See Soldiers Marching With Guns. We Only Talk About Things That's Happening.

People Are Always Coming Up To Me, Thinking I've Got Some Magic Wand That Can Make Them A Star And I Want To Tell Them That No One Can Do That. Making Hit Records Is Not That Easy. But It Took Me Time To Realize That Myself.

You Got To Realise That When I Was 20 Years Old, I Had A House, A Mercedes, A Corvette And A Million Dollars In The Bank Before I Could Buy Alcohol Legally.

When I Think Of The Future, I Think A Lot Of Quincy Jones And How He Is An Inspiration. Look At The Quality Of His Work Over So Many Years.

Nothing Pulls You Back Into The Studio More Than The Belief That Your Best Record Is Still Ahead.
