Once you're a Motown artist, you're always a Motown artist.

Motown will always be a heavy-duty part of my life because those are my roots.

One thing I can say about the Motown acts is that we were a family. That's not a myth.

I don't ever balk at being considered a Motown person, because Motown is the greatest musical event that ever happened in the history of music.

I've been speaking at churches for years, as well as juvenile jails, rehabs and hospitals, and I always talk about my faith. That is a declaration of my relationship with God.

You know what, I'm probably one of the most blessed people there's ever been, and I thank God for it.
