We're not thought of in terms of color because we are entertainers. We are there to entertain you not because we are black, white, pink, or green or gay or straight or because we are Catholic or Protestant.
You don't move just because you want to go from this point to that point - the body has to be using the words as well as you vocally use the words.
When we want to have our own style of living, it is nobody's business but ours. What we do in private is our private business.
I'm an orphan. But the public has adopted me, and that has been my only family. The biggest family in the world is my fans.
I don't carry myself as a black person but as a woman that belongs to everybody. After all, it's the general public that made me - not any one particular group. So I don't think of myself as belonging to any particular group and never have.
