Stardom is no longer the fuel of my soul. It is the deeper aspects of life that nurture me. And I realise I am very blessed.

I like to be bought flowers and taken out for dinner. I like a man to be a gentleman. I don't like to be treated as if I am brainless. I like to be respected and to give respect.

I'm very old-fashioned. Occasionally I do wear underwear.

I like my whiskey neat and strong just as I like my women. Women who have matured in their minds and bodies

I don't think the people of the slave states will ever consider the subject of slavery in its true light till some other argument is resorted to other than moral persuasion.

I think it's a reflection of the music business in general, which to me seems very fragmented.

At the end of the day, my hat goes off to anybody trying to run for president, or trying to be president, because you're never going to please everybody, it's not possible.

I count life just a stuff To try the soul's strength on.

Some women being empowered does not prove the patriarchy is dead. It proves that some of us are lucky.
