It's Not Just Songs And Glamour. It's

In The Inner City, There's A Mentality That The Government Owes You Something. My Breakthrough Came When I Stopped Feeling Sorry For Myself And Took Responsibility For Every Part Of My Life. No More Pity Parties. I've Gotta Love Me More Than Anybody Else Loves Me.

God Loves Me And Sent His Son To Die For Me So I Have To Live To Please Him Because He Saved Me When Everyone Abandoned Me.

As Far As Men Go, They Never Gave Me A Chance To Be Me; They Were Always Scared That Somebody Was Going To Take Me.

It's Up To Us To Choose Whether We Win Or Lose...and I Choose To Win.

As A Child I Always Wanted To Be A Singer. The Music My Mother Played In The House Moved Me - Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, Mahalia Jackson. It Was Truly Spiritual. It Made You Understand What God Was. We Are All Spirits. We Get Depressed. But Music Makes You Want To Live. I Know My Music Has Saved My Life.
