Aretha Franklin

I'm a little wacky. I'm a little fun. I'm a little kooky. I'm a little crazy. I'm a little bit of everything.

I'm not a diva. I'm just a woman who's doing her job.

I am not a person that is quick to cry. I'm just not. I'm not that emotional. But I am a person that is very quick to laughter. I can laugh at anything.

I've been around a long time. I've been around the block a few times. I've seen a lot of things. I've heard a lot of things. I've done a lot of things. And I've learned a lot of things.

I don't think I'm a diva. I'm just a woman who has a lot of demands on her time.

I never felt I was a star. I just felt I was a singer.

I'm a very private person. I like to keep my private life private.

I'm a very spiritual person. I believe in God.

I'm a woman, and I'm a mother, and I'm a grandmother. And I'm a great-grandmother.

I'm a very spontaneous person. I like to do things on the spur of the moment.

I'm a very strong woman. I've always been a strong woman. And I will always be a strong woman.

I'm a very positive person. I always look at the glass as half full, not half empty.

I'm a very independent person. I like to do things my own way.

I'm a very determined person. When I set my mind to something, I usually accomplish it.

I'm a very resilient person. I've been through a lot of things in my life, and I've always bounced back.

I'm a very optimistic person. I always believe that things will get better.

I'm a very grateful person. I'm grateful for everything that I have.

I'm a very humble person. I don't think I'm better than anyone else.

I'm a very loyal person. I'm loyal to my family, my friends, and my fans.

I'm a very honest person. I always tell the truth, even if it hurts.
