Vanity

Getting past my past... was a process, a very serious process indeed.

According to God's word, we haven't done a very good job concerning our little ones, nor our teens.

Boy, it is not fun suffering in this body of weak flesh, but Jesus is straightening out all my crooked places.

I don't listen to my old music of Vanity's unless I have to hear it playing in a mall or something place like that.

People think stars never have any problems or cares. That's bull. Why would we show any more than one mask to the public. There's a whole lotta things I've done that I don't want to think about. But I bring it all right out when I need it for a role.

Vanity was a joke. She was an image created to make money.

A girl's best friend is her pride.

I repent daily my sins, my faults, and my shortcomings.

I'm totally comfortable with myself.

I was young and irresponsible, a silly woman laden with sin, not caring for anything except fame and fortune and self. But I have lived seeking truth in Jesus Christ and found it has made me free.

I look at singing and acting as one career, and I love the chance to do both in the same project. I need to do both. When I'm doing one, I miss the other.

I wish I had come along when the studios were making those big musical pictures. It would be great to do re-makes of some of the old ones like 'Porgy and Bess' or 'Showboat.' I'd love to do 'em.
