I'm Good Where I Am At This

Being Around People Like Aretha Franklin And Gladys Knight, Dionne Warwick And Roberta Flack, All These Greats, I Was Taught To Listen And Observe.

Loneliness Comes With Life.

My Mother Sang With Me In Her Stomach; I Sang With Bobbi Kris In My Stomach. I Believe The Child Starts To Develop Within, And Whatever You Read, Whatever You Think, Whatever You Do Affects The Child.

I Wanted To Be A Teacher. I Love Children, So I Wanted To Deal With Children. Then I Wanted To Be A Veterinarian. But By The Age Of Ten Or Eleven, When I Opened My Mouth And Said, 'oh, God, What's This?' I Kind Of Knew Teaching And Being A Veterinarian Were Gonna Have To Wait.

I Would Stay In My Room For Days, For Days At Times, Just Trying To Get It Together, To Know What My Next Phase Was Going To Be.
