Never once, during any of my bouts of depression, had I been inclined or able to pick up a telephone and ask a friend for help. It wasn't in me.
I've never really been a confident person, except from a musical standpoint. I had to push myself early on, but it got easier with each gig.
My father used to be away for months at a time, and he'd never leave any money for food, so my brother and I had to go out and nick it.
I eat very clean, healthy food at all times because I'm very focused about keeping myself in shape.
I know, speaking for myself, no matter what I'm able to do, no matter what book comes out and ends up on paper, I always had something bigger and grander in my head.
Being pure in my voice has always served me the best. Anytime I've tried to hide my light under a bushel, it's never done me any good.
If the Negro in the ghetto must eternally be fed by the hand that pushes him into the ghetto, he will never become strong enough to get out of the ghetto.
I was always in a big hurry to do everything. Before I was 20, I was married twice and had two kids. But I don't regret any of it. I learned a lot about myself. I had a lot to say for someone my age, real early on.
But I had promised my husband never to accept another engagement. It was not a very happy time for me.
