"I was a shy kid with a broom handle that I pretended was a microphone." — Patti LaBelle

I clean my house, although I have help. I'm on the floor getting spots. I can't stand a dirty house. I'm a cleaning fanatic.

I want to be remembered as a woman who was fair and always gave 150 percent, no matter what I did.

When I was married, I wasn't loving myself. Now I'm in love with myself. I will get married again.

I'm so grounded, it's sad.
