It really is an honor if I can be inspirational to a younger singer or person. It means I've done my job.

Columbia was a wonderful label for me. Wonderful. The records I made there garnered me an audience. I won a number of polls during the years that I was at Columbia. The Downbeat Jazz Poll. Leonard Feather, who was a huge critic back in the day, different polls that he had. The Playboy poll, a number of polls. So the music was great.

Intermittently in my concert format, I sing a little jazz, a little scatting.

I guess I could've been a prima ballerina. Or a nurse. Aretha Nightingale!

Men have always been gentlemen to me - responsible people with healthy attitudes.

I think the hardest thing is losing weight. That's the hardest thing more than anything else.

I think women and children and older people are the three least-respected groups in our society.

Who hasn't had a weight issue? If not the body, certainly the big head!

Music does a lot of things for a lot of people. It's transporting, for sure. It can take you right back, years back, to the very moment certain things happened in your life. It's uplifting, it's encouraging, it's strengthening.

I don't think I was a catalyst for the women's movement.
