Going on with life, it only gets more and more intense as time goes by - and the challenges only multiply. | | 101After years of making wrong decisions in my life, in 1977 I found out that it was all right to be square, simple, and sober. | | 102The morning after my high-school graduation found me up early job hunting. The dream of college I put on the back burner. | Graduation, Morning | 103I pray for miracles. I have always found prayer to bring quick results. | | 104A song has to become as much a part of you as a tailored suit. | | 105Detroit is full of talent. | | 106Disco music in the '70s was just a call to go wild and party and dance with no thought or conscience or regard for tomorrow. | | 107Good and bad - this is the story of my life. | | 108I have always thought music as a way out of the ordinary mundane obligations of life. | | 109I will always dance in the street. | | 110A large family makes you accept sharing your parents. | | 111God uses singers in a mighty way, and I am grateful. | | 112I don't worry about being in a hurry any more, because my faith in God will always deliver me on time. | | 113I still marvel at how God turns dreams into reality. | Dreams | 114I was stranded in Disco. I went to dozens of darkened places with enough flashing lights to drive the average person mad. I felt lost in the pulse of sheer panic. | | 115Lead singers not only do the majority of the work, but their personalities are singled out and taken as the general attitude of the unit. | Attitude | 116The world I was born into was one filled with music. | | 117There are times in show business when you work so much you think you will pop your cork, and then suddenly you can't find any work. | | 118Berry Gordy turned his house into a studio and discovered over 30 acts in the city. And we're famous all over the world. | | 119Divas need their furs! | | 120I went from elementary school to proper training, operatic training, and I went on to the Motown University and learned a lot of things from some wonderful people. | | 121I worshipped Berry Gordy for the creative dreams he had made come true. | | 122If you stick around long enough, people start referring to you as a survivor. Suddenly I found myself on the receiving end of several prestigious awards. | | 123Most performers spend half their earnings taking care of family members. | | 124You can't very well live in a castle while your kin is on the poor side of town and barely have enough food. Some want you to get to the top and rely on you making it for them, too. | | 125 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
