Yolanda Adams

The great thing about Gospel is that you don't have to have an album every year in order to keep working.

I do a medley of hymns in all of my sets, whether I'm in an arena, in a theater, in an amusement park.

Luckily, I don't have to be anybody but Yolanda, because people don't expect me to be anything other than who I am. For an artist, it's a great place to be.

I cannot cook to save my life. I'm really frighteningly useless, when you get down to it.

James Bond is quite serious about his drinks and clothing and cigarettes and food and all that sort of thing. There is nothing wry or amused about James Bond.

My mom makes the best Cajun stuff. I'm a big gumbo guy. I've lost a lot of my Louisiana accent, so now when I say 'gumbo,' I feel like someone who's never said the word before.
