Quote

After I moved with my mother to St. Louis, my older sister and I went to see Ike Turner, who was the hottest then. His music charged me. I was never attracted to him, but I wanted to sing with his band.

I believe that a lot of how you look is to do with how you feel about yourself and your life. Happiness is the greatest beauty secret.
