Gladys Knight

I always kind of thought I want to be a good person, I want to be right to my fellow men and love them like we're supposed to.

Most people who ask me what's my favorite song, expect that it's 'Midnight Train' or 'Neither One of Us.' But actually, it's always kinda been 'The Need to Be' because of what it says. I love the way that song was written, I love the melody, I love everything about it.

I'm a people lover. I love interacting with different people as I meet them, and I think people are one of God's greatest creations, I really do. They're interesting and intriguing.

I know those challenges that come up from time to time in life are our little learning tools, our little steppingstones. If we didn't have those things in our life, how would we learn anything? We would just be walking around like nothing. We need those obstacles in our life because I know one thing - I'm a much better person for them.

Nobody has a perfect anything. We don't have perfect lives. We're not perfect beings.

We should definitely be more careful about the things that we chose to do with our lives.

I don't regret any decisions I've made in my life.

We all have a responsibility, and since I've been so wonderfully blessed, I really want to share and to make life at least a little better. So every chance I get to share the gospel or uplift people, I will take full advantage of that opportunity.

I know how hard it is to send two kids to college when you ain't got nothing. I know people may not think of me in that way, but this business gives you ups and downs.

Well, I never danced with the 'Pips' - they didn't let me dance!

Soul is just that inner spirit. I use that inner spirit for whatever it is I do.

I do know that on my mom's side, my uncle sang and had a gospel group. He also had a radio show he would do on Sundays with his quartet.
