“I always tell people, 'It'll get greater later' meaning that sometimes we have to pass through whatever it is. We know that we can get through it because others have.”

“For singers, our singing voice is our natural voice, not the speaking.”

“I have been blind. I have been paralyzed. But each day, if I wake up, then I know He's left me here for a reason, and I have to say yes. And I have to get up. And I have to make the best of that day.”

“I'm a Broadway baby! So, therefore, I started in the theater.”

“I was privileged to know the late, great Miss Etta James, and I did get a chance to spend some time with her and hang out with her.”

“The gay community has been so faithful and good to me.”

“I do think the love-gone-wrong songs go over better, only because those melodies and those lyrics have a different feel that you can grasp on if you're a torch singer like myself.”

“I know that the music industry has changed, but I'd love it if Adele and John Legend would write me songs.”

“Success is overwhelming.”

“If your mind is not willing, everything will go. There's so much great power of our mind that we take for granted, and how we think and what positiveness can do.”

“I'm quite sure we all have a sweet love song that we dance to or recall from our wedding or something, like 'At Last,' but I think that it is the love-gone-wrong songs that touch even men.”
