Musician

People think stars never have any problems or cares. That's bull. Why would we show any more than one mask to the public. There's a whole lotta things I've done that I don't want to think about. But I bring it all right out when I need it for a role.

A girl's best friend is her pride.

I apologize profusely to those I have offended deeply a million times over.

Boy, it is not fun suffering in this body of weak flesh, but Jesus is straightening out all my crooked places.

I wish I had come along when the studios were making those big musical pictures. It would be great to do re-makes of some of the old ones like 'Porgy and Bess' or 'Showboat.' I'd love to do 'em.

Getting past my past... was a process, a very serious process indeed.

I'm totally comfortable with myself.

I never thought, 'Oh God, I'm in Prince's shadow.' He'd been performing for years, and he was my teacher.

An abused childhood affects the entire life... It affects every facet of the life.

Every day, I wake up and say, 'Good Morning, Jesus.'

I don't listen to my old music of Vanity's unless I have to hear it playing in a mall or something place like that.

I had internal bleeding with blood clots on the brain. I was completely blind and deaf. I had a heart attack and a stroke.

I used to sneak into my mother's closet and try to wear her lingerie to school.

I repent daily my sins, my faults, and my shortcomings.

I sing to Jesus for Jesus now. This gives me pure joy... worship!

'Vanity' means worthlessness.

I'm a real romantic.

I was miserable the entire time I was Vanity. I spent so many days and so many nights crying, hating who I'd become.

Prince and I happen to think alike.

According to God's word, we haven't done a very good job concerning our little ones, nor our teens.
