Women see me as a figure they can respect. They know I've been through a lot. I'm not going to let no man put me under.

Many women, sometime in their life, are going to get to a point where they have to admit infidelity.

I told God, 'I don't want a man. I don't want more gold albums. The only thing I want is the love, friendship, and presence of my mother.' And God gave it to me.

Women in salsa - women everywhere - we always gotta be defending ourselves.

I try to stay real with my thoughts and the things that I go through in life. I like being free.

I fight manic-depression, and I have been able to live battling that sadness that I get sometimes.
