A miracle... my biggest accomplishment is my marriage so far. Because it's hard, everyone knows it's hard.

Sometimes you have to sacrifice your performance for high heels.

You can't plan anything, right? You can try.

I remember so vividly the first song I ever wrote. It was called 'Different People.'

Some people associate red with love, but to me, red is for an earlier stage of a relationship. Black is much deeper, to me. It's certainly the sexiest color.

I knew marriage was not the answer to changing the conditions for poor, black, queer folks. So I never felt compelled to get married - it just didn't seem important. But even if marriage wasn't right for me at the time, or a quick fix toward black empowerment, I found it repulsive that loving same-sex couples were refused the right.

Romance should never begin with sentiment. It should begin with science and end with a settlement.

I was so tired once 'Abba' was over and just wanted to be calm and with my children. I married, was in 'Abba,' had my children, divorced, all in ten years. I wonder how I managed it, but I was young.
