We have a tendency in this country that when we say Black it automatically means Black Americans. But that's a big mistake, and that keeps us divided. There are Blacks all over this entire world-even in Africa.

Cara is not my real name, and I'm not going to tell you what it is. Only because I do live in New York and enough people already know who my parents are.

All of a sudden, I was hearing stories about how difficult I was to work with, ridiculous rumors about drugs and what a diva I was. I never had to go to rehab or a program.

Here I found myself in my early 20s, at the height of my career, up against something I was totally powerless against. I had enemies I had never heard of because of this. I certainly didn't have needles hanging out of my arms, nor did I smoke anything.

I was just sort of a ham as a child.

I'll never be that trusting again, believing accountants and lawyers have my best interests at heart.

Feels so good it must be a sin.

I didn't get where I am because of looks! I've done it on talent! I've never had to depend on my looks for anything. I haven't sat around and tried to look pretty-I've worked my butt off!

I stopped smoking for two weeks. I thought I would die! I got so sick. I tried doing it cold turkey and it nearly killed me, so I've got to go on some kind of program and really do it.

When I was 6, 7, and 8, my mother and I would take a bus to Newark, New Jersey, and I would do all the Latin variety shows. I did Carmen Miranda impersonations.

Songwriting is therapy for me. If I've gone through a particular experince that I have to get out, then I'll write a song about it, just to get it out so it doesn't eat me up inside. I get a lot of material for my songs from my personal life, including some things that can be a great tragedy.

I like to think of myself as an actress.

I love taxis. Cabbies are the best therapists, good listeners, good talkers, working-class people-people I hope never to lose contact with.

I'm very mellow. I'm soting out a lot of things I didn't want to deal with before.

We weren't exactly wealthy, no.

I don't like being under someone elses thumb. I'm very supportive of other female artists, especially those trying to make their own statement... trying to do what they want instead of being someone else's Barbie doll.

I refuse to let anybody try to typecast me. It's against my nature. I like to continually do different things.

I was invited to the premiere of China Cry, the inspiring, true-life love story of Chinese evangelist Nora Lam. I was tremendously moved by the picture.

I'll be gray by the time I'm 30, but I like my hair. It looks shiny. I like the way it looks when those highlights are picked up on camera.

The rumors emanated from people who are in a position of power.
