It is frustrating to be a Black woman in the entertainment industry.

I`m not psychic myself.

My parents gave me stability and a belief in myself and in all the possibilities life has to offer. I was told the only limitations I would ever face were those I placed upon myself.

Years ago I learned to be totally responsible for Dionne Warwick. I will not wait for opportunities. I will create them.

I often feel the need of a man to take care of me, even though I can certainly take care of myself.

Man will never understand woman and vice versa. We are oil and water. An equal level can never be maintained, as one will always excel where the other doesn`t, and that breeds resentment.

Dust does rise, doesn`t it? And so can I.

I treat others exactly the way I want to be treated.

Do you know that other than my father, I`ve never had a man take care of me?

A case of can`t do with, can`t do without, that`s why I married him again.

Linda Georgian is a wonderful psychic. She can do amazing things.

There was a time in the marriage when I could no longer look at myself in a mirror, couldn`t feel I was a nice person. A bad relationship can do that, can make you doubt everything good you ever felt about yourself.

My songs are like my children. I love every single one of them.
