So if diva means giving your best, then yes, I guess I am a diva.
I've had 60 years of ups and downs, and all of the downs that I've had, I'm happy that I've had them because it's taught me to appreciate all the ups.
I think the race situation is getting better as far as people respecting each other goes. I think the race situation with entertainment is not that much better.
I don't tweet, Twitter, email, Facebook, look book, no kind of book. I have a land line phone at my home - that's the only phone I have. If my phone rang every day like everyone else around me, I would lose my mind.
I know how to put it on when it comes to interviews and performing because I have to. But I'm pretty laid back.
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.
