I'd Rather Be Alone Than Unhappy

I Feel So Blessed To Just Have Done What I Had Done. To Be Able To Just Use What God Has Given Me Is A Blessing. You Know, Never Mind The Grammys, Never Mind The Records, Never Mind All Of That. Just To Be Able To Sing.

In Grammar School Some Of The Girls Had Problems With Me. My Face Was Too Light. My Hair Was Too Long. It Was The Black-consciousness Period, And I Felt Really Bad.

I Have Priorities. Maintaining My Daughter Is My First.

I Almost Wish I Could Be More Exciting, That I Could Match What Is Happening Out There To Me.

I'm Proud Of Being A Mother, A Wife, A Daughter, And A Sister, And A Lover And A Friend We're All God's Children.
