I'm so grounded, it's sad.

All I can tell you really is if you get to the point where someone is telling you that you are not great or not good enough, just follow your heart and don't let anybody crush your dream.

I'm 60, and I did 60-year-old women songs. I'm not trying to be the Hip-Hop Queen, although I am the original Hip Hop Queen.

People with no humor, they're outta my life.

I just sing the stuff that makes me smile, makes me feel like I didn't sell myself out.
