Chaka Khan

In my thirties, I felt I had hold of one of the reins some of the time.

Well. I'm probably not loving myself like I should, but I'm really trying.

I'd been in a vicious cycle and circle of people and couldn't see my way out. So I picked myself up one day about 15 years ago and moved where I didn't know anyone.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.

I know I'm not the kind of person who's gonna wind up a walking jukebox, like many rock 'n' roll artists. They just play their hits and that's it. That doesn't appeal to me.

If my house was on fire, I can't compromise about which part of the house I'm going to save. You save the whole house or it will all burn down. We either save this country or we do not.
