GLORIA GAYNOR

A chic guy is in a suit. I don't care what kind of tie they wear. I don't care if they even wear a tie, as long as they can carry a suit.

One of the high points of my career was winning the Grammy for 'I Will Survive.'

There's nothing to compare to live music, there just isn't anything.

Well, we all know that self-esteem comes from what you think of you, not what other people think of you.

I think I sound like Barry White.

I still love a variety of kinds of music.

Well, for street clothes, a lot of what I wear is Jones New York. I am well-endowed in the derriere, and they can handle that.

All through my young life I wanted to sing, although nobody in my family knew it.

Christ does not fulfill the human element, but he certainly fulfills every other need in your life. As far as I'm concerned, there's no better love affair.

I will always try to share my faith with any person who is willing to listen. When I feel a wall go up, we can talk about something else... and I will pray for you.

God allows circumstances to build us up. God has got our back.

My look is always glitzy for New Year's Eve, even if I am at home.

I had cars, houses, jewels, furs, and a husband who loved me, and a career I was happy with. But I found fulfillment in my relationship with Christ.

The better your audience, the more energy you have, and the more energy you have, the better show you do. The better show you do, the more they love it, and the more energy they give back to you.

People always want to ask me about my drug problem - I never had a drug problem; I had a self-esteem problem!

That's why you find a lot of entertainers are insecure, because it's the perfect camouflage for insecurity.

Well, I went through some emotionally abusive relationships and allowed myself to not be properly respected as a lady, as a human being even, though I tried everything I knew to be a lady.

People are intimidated when they first meet me, but it doesn't take them long to realise I'm just an average person.

When I'm on stage, all is right with the world.

I have never been a different person onstage than I am off.

I had a fear of being alone.

Low self-esteem comes from who you assess yourself to be. It's about who you are, and I didn't think I was anything or anybody.

God was in control, and I was just pliable enough to say yes to wherever He would lead.

I have a European Fanclub that's based in Holland, and I had to have that President of the Fanclub to get me a number of recordings that I hadn't had the foresight to collect myself.

My grandmother went to church, but my mother had been inundated with church and decided that when she had children, she would not push church or God on her children.
