Now I can stand up on the stage again like I used to after five years of sitting down while I sang.
I don't care who's playing. Even if it's my favorite artist, I'm probably not gonna go and see him.
A few years ago, I thought, I'll never make it. I started to go to the doctor to help me lose weight.
Once you lose the weight, you're really anxious to eat healthy.
I like to shop, but I don't like to go out to dances.
To me, country music is like the blues, but it's something very hip and - I don't want to say commercial - but it's very worldly and good listening.
My mother used to play nothing but Billie Holiday.
They said that Etta James is still vulgar. I said, Oh, how dare them say I'm still vulgar. I'm vulgar because I dance in the chair. What would they want me to do? Want me to just be still or something like that? I've got to do something.
