If I'm With A Man I'm Soft

The Only Recording Studio Was In Motown - It Was Called Tamla/motown At That Time And We Used To Audition There Because Smokey Robinson Was At That Studio And Berry Gordy Was The President. I Remember Asking Smokey To Listen To My Group And He Did. For The First Couple Of Years We Were Just Singing Background. We Used To Back Up Marvin Gaye; Mary Wells Was There Then, Marv Johnson, The Marvelettes, Martha Reeves And The Vandellas, Junior Walker And The All-stars.

I Even Thought Of Adopting A Child As A Single Mother.

The First Time I Heard A Billie Holiday Record, I Thought, 'what's So Great About Billie Holiday?'

What's Important For Me Is To Give My Daughters A Well-rounded Education And A Mixture Of People In Their Lives. They'll Make Their Own Choices. I Think They Would Be Good In Show Business.

I Think A Responsibility Comes With Notoriety, But I Never Think Of It As Power. It's More Like Something You Hold, Like Grains Of Sand. If You Keep Your Hand Closed, You Can Have It And Possess It, But If You Open Your Fingers In Any Way, You Can Lose It Just As Quickly.
