When I heard Aretha, I could feel her emotional delivery so clearly. It came from down deep within. That's what I wanted to do.
When I decided to be a singer, my mother warned me I'd be alone a lot. Basically we all are.
I've always been a thin girl. I'm not going to be fat, ever. Let's get that straight. Whitney is not going to be fat, ever. Okay?
I am not self-destructive. I am not a person who wants to die.
My mother was the first singer I had contact with. She sang constantly to us around the house, in church.
I've got some good saints out there - that's right - that pray for me constantly. You've gotta have that! You do.
