I had internal bleeding with blood clots on the brain. I was completely blind and deaf. I had a heart attack and a stroke.
I was miserable the entire time I was Vanity. I spent so many days and so many nights crying, hating who I'd become.
An abused childhood affects the entire life... It affects every facet of the life.
I was young and irresponsible, a silly woman laden with sin, not caring for anything except fame and fortune and self. But I have lived seeking truth in Jesus Christ and found it has made me free.
Every day, I wake up and say, 'Good Morning, Jesus.'
I used to sneak into my mother's closet and try to wear her lingerie to school.
I don't listen to my old music of Vanity's unless I have to hear it playing in a mall or something place like that.
I wish I had come along when the studios were making those big musical pictures. It would be great to do re-makes of some of the old ones like 'Porgy and Bess' or 'Showboat.' I'd love to do 'em.
Things have changed. Now it's not the outward appearance, it's the inward man that I'm trying to change. And that's the message I bring to the people.
I sing to Jesus for Jesus now. This gives me pure joy... worship!
'Vanity' means worthlessness.
