Black Women Are The Strongest Most Hardworking

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.

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. He Didn't Even Make His Best Record, 'thriller,' Until He Was 50. That Gives Me Something To Look Forward To. Nothing Pulls You Back Into The Studio More Than The Belief That Your Best Record Is Still Ahead.

Bsb Are My Personal Favorites.

It Ain't That I'm Too Big To Listen To The Rumors, It's Just That I'm Too Damn Big To Pay Attention To 'em.

I Believe In Reincarnation, And I Believe I've Lived Quite A Few Lives.
