“I can be with them honestly. I can't just do a song and I can't do a movie either like that. I got to believe what the part is that I'm playing. You know, I got to be there for Brandy's mom. Tell the truth.”

“You know, every one of my songs, I mean, I, you know, if I could just be, if you can be in the words of these songs, it's extraordinary lyrics of these songs. Yes. And then when it's honest for you, that's when the audience feels the honesty. If you try to make it dishonest or if you're just singing words, they don't feel it. It's like the guitar strings. You know, you feel it. And those words are very honest for me. That song, it's my turn. We're a very important part of my life. I'm coming out upside down. It's where I was at that time. The album that I have out right now is Where I'm at. Usually I choose my songs from what's going on in my life at that time. And then I know that I can interpret them honestly.”

“I really think, you know, if you could realize we're still students all the time, we're learning every day all the time. And, you know, it's just something else is I don't really feel like I've got it all handled. The thing that is, if I keep my goals and my values in the right place, which have to do with my children. But I think I don't have the answers, and I do try to live right, and I do care about things. And sometimes, you know, that's not always the things that people see.”

“It's like I'm not really in charge of the things that go on in your life, things that magic happens. You meet someone, it's magical, and then something can happen. But, you know, it's just like I have to look at it like that, that I can't really I can't design everybody's life. I mean, I really have to stay positive.”

“But then the scariest part is when I did get to the station, which was a police station at the airport, it was really frightening because they fingerprinted me. They took a picture of you like ladies sings the blues. You know what I mean? It's like, and I just, I kept saying, what are you doing here? What's happening? So that was the biggest fear, that five hours in the police station. So it's over.”

“Say something. And so I thought I needed to tell somebody, and nobody listened, and maybe I shouldn't have reacted the way I had done a video all night, and I was really tired, and I was unhappy, and I just got a little loud at the airport, guys. I said, this can't be, we should not allow this to happen. Someone should make a noise about it because every place else I've traveled all over the world, you know, I've been traveling for 40 years. I stuttered. And usually they took it one and put it across your body if they think you might have metal on you. But none of that, and in Europe, they touch you.

“Coming through the gate where the metal detector had a bodysuit on, and there was no way I had a big belt on that had a buckle on it. But before they say, go back and take off your belt, none of that, this woman just started, she flipped my arms up and just started to go around my breast and down my legs. And then I said, why do you have to do that? I actually was in shock. And she said, because it's my job. And she went to do it again. So I said, I'm going to go and complain. And I went over and they brushed me off like, you know, and I actually just got, see, I've always taught my kids if someone touches you inappropriately, you should tell somebody.”

“There's something bigger here than the things that we can all look at. We always try to find the little things, but there's something bigger here. And for me, truly, it is an idea as time has come. We represent something that's not that we need for our young people.”

“Well, you know, it's really interesting. Things take a life of their own. Yeah.
