Years ago I wanted to buy an apartment in New York City. I was a single female - I had gone through my divorce - I had three children, I was in show business and black. It was, like, impossible.
My family called me a wiggle tail because I was a little skinny, wiry kid full of energy.
No, nothing really upsets me.
I'd traveled a lot, was going temporarily insane and became very successful, but there was no one to take that all home to.
I try to choose the songs that really are basically coming from my heart. I think that through the songs that I select, people know what's going on in my life.
I keep a great organiser, I try to keep my priorities in the right place.
