Once you're a Motown artist, you're always a Motown artist

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day

As human beings, we're very materialistic and have all this stuff - furs and cars and diamonds and money.

If you feel like loving me, if you've got the notion, I second that emotion.

The only thing you're taking out of here is your spirit and your soul, so we need to be conscious to try and develop that part of ourselves, because we're all spiritual creatures.

Mistakes, I know I've made a few. But I'm only human, you've made mistakes, too.

I will bring you a flower from the floor of the sea to wear in your hair.

I am very confident. I look confident. I act confident. I speak in a confident way...

If you choose to be looking for something, you'd better be ready for whatever it is you are find. Because it may not be what you've been expecting.

Any social or cultural change has to be made openly and with people agreeing. You don't get there by just pushing an outsider's point of view.

I've been more conscious of my salt intake, sugar intake, making sure I'm not eating as many processed foods.

It is always too soon to quit.
