Anita Baker
I'm used to getting up at 7, getting breakfast, getting the kids off to school, and doing the mommy thing and the wife thing and the daughter thing.
Anita Baker
You leave home to seek your fortune and, when you get it, you go home and share it with your family.
Anita Baker
Typically, the theme of my albums, if there is a theme, is, 'How does it feel?' And that always leads to love songs. It just does.
Anita Baker
I'm picking and choosing in terms of the stress factor. If it's not fun, I'm not going to do it.
Anita Baker
Most artists are notoriously insecure, and I fall into that category.
Anita Baker
If you have your own agenda and your own style and you don't easily conform to what the masses are doing, you're looked upon as being difficult. Whereas, I think of it as just being an individual.
Anita Baker
It's impossible to write and produce a record when your parents are dying. I really tried, I really, really tried, but it just wouldn't come.
Anita Baker
I would make far more money if every song were my own, but I don't write to fill up the album with my songs.
Anita Baker
I don't let people use me. That's why I like a small number of people in my life. The more people in my life, the more complex it becomes, so I just try to keep it at a minimum.
Anita Baker
