They Tell Me That It Will Be Hard To Find A Man Strong Enough To Love My Own Strength And Independence, And Not Worry About Being Mr. Diana Ross, But I Disagree. I Know Absolutely That That Man Is Somewhere Out There.

I Don't Know What I Feel About Wearing My Furs Anymore. I Worked So Hard To Have A Fur Coat, And I Don't Want To Wear It Anymore Because I'm So Wrapped Up In The Animals. I Have Real Deep Thoughts About It Because I Care About The World And Nature.

I'm From A Singing Family, But They're Not Professional Singers, Only Gospel - My Grandfather Was A Minister. I Started To Sing The Music That Was Out Then Because My Mother Used To Play It All The Time. It Was The End Of The '50s, The Beginning Of The '60s. There Was Frankie Lyman And The Teenagers, Etta James... We Used To Sit Outside On The Stoop And Sing. We Even Used To Put Our Radios And Record Players Outside.

Take A Little Time Out Of Your Busy Day To Give Encouragement To Someone Who's Lost Their Way.
