I was young and irresponsible, a silly woman laden with sin, not caring for anything except fame and fortune and self. But I have lived seeking truth in Jesus Christ and found it has made me free.
'Vanity' means worthlessness.
I sing to Jesus for Jesus now. This gives me pure joy... worship!
Things have changed. Now it's not the outward appearance, it's the inward man that I'm trying to change. And that's the message I bring to the people.
I wish I had come along when the studios were making those big musical pictures. It would be great to do re-makes of some of the old ones like 'Porgy and Bess' or 'Showboat.' I'd love to do 'em.
I don't listen to my old music of Vanity's unless I have to hear it playing in a mall or something place like that.
