I was raised with a ton of brothers and sisters where, obviously, the music running in and out of the house was very eclectic. So, I had a lot under my belt by the time I grew up. It all depends upon the mood that I'm in, the space that I'm in and what I'm feeling at that moment. But definitely!
There are people that regardless of what it is, if it's something that's stressful, whatever it may be, they don't eat, they lose a lot of weight, a divorce, they get real thin. I'm the opposite.
When I finally make up my mind that I want to do something, it's never been hard for me to do.
You get yourself up for it somehow, and your endurance and the crowd gets you up, too.
Every body type is different - that's what makes you unique. What makes you special is you, and you are different from the next person.
I believe in a higher power. I believe in inspiration.
It is my belief that we all have the need to feel special. It is this need that can bring out the best in us, yet the worst in us.
In complete darkness we are all the same, it is only our knowledge and wisdom that separates us, don't let your eyes deceive you.
You dont have to hold on to the pain, to hold on to the memory.
You can tell someone who doesn't have love in their life, then someone who is in love.
I always get bored with my hair. That's why I would always change it throughout my career.
My brothers were gone on tour a lot, and I would miss them so much.
In 1977, at age ten, I was cast on the TV sitcom 'Good Times.' My character was Penny, an abused child in desperate need of love. I really didn't want to do the show. I didn't want to be away from my family.
A lot of people who start work at a very young age never grow up because they never got that opportunity to be a child, so they hold on to that and still do a lot of childish, silly things.
