So if anybody wants to get me something, get me 60 crabs - one for each year. I don't want no diamonds, I don't want no shoes, I don't want no party. I want some crabs.

All I do is stay in the kitchen and cook. I don't go there to party.

All I can tell you really is if you get to the point where someone is telling you that you are not great or not good enough, just follow your heart and don't let anybody crush your dream.

I can't do some of the songs that younger girls like Mary J. Blige and Beyonce are doing. They have their own place and I have my own place.

I've been shut down, run down, talked about, dogged out, but that never stopped me from the being the true me that's here and will be here.

So if diva means giving your best, then yes, I guess I am a diva.
