All of my babies know that I preach all day... I ain't trying to hide no light under no bushel. Everybody needs a little light in their life, and when they need prayer, they know where to come because they know I love them all, and I ain't judging nobody.

I've just learned that love is a very fleeting thing, so we - then we have it; we need to hold on to it but hold on to it in a gracious fashion. Not in the smothering but more so just a covering kind of love.

Betty Wright

I have to tell you that I love people. When I see the kids coming up and see what they have done with the music, it's amazing.

Betty Wright

When I started out, even though you had your rhythm section, they were big horn sections, strings, live people laying on every part of the floor in the studio waiting for their chance to get on that one little track.

Compassion, not passion, keeps a marriage together.

I'm lyric conscious. I like to tell stories, give advice. Instead of writing a 'Dear Abby' column, I do it on records.

Betty Wright

I don't feel like I need to tell any lies. You get to an age where you get tired of hiding behind whatever people think is correct. You just say what you have to say, and if they don't like it, it's OK.

Betty Wright

I used to hate sampling, but it was basically because everyone was getting paid but us. But when they began to do the legislation and get it right, I realized that the kids just did something that, if maybe we were smart enough, we would have done it as well.

I respect women that have a voice and use it for a proper reason.

Betty Wright

I believe in legacy. And I believe in making the radio sound better. If I gotta listen to it, I want it to sound good.

Betty Wright

I would say I am viewed as the oldest teenager in my family because they say I never grow old. I mean, I am stern in my own way - I am not one to let children run over me - but I am very, very good with children, and I can usually get what I want out of them.

Betty Wright

I'm tired of people disturbing the peace, getting on the radio and sounding a hot mess. If I can tell what the note really is, why let them go to the note they think it is? I've got that mama vibe. I don't look at it with an ego.

Betty Wright

As long as you keep yourself in love with people, you can transcend time.

Betty Wright

I only intended to be married one time. But marriages are made; they don't just happen. It takes two.

Betty Wright

Divorce can be tough when the woman is the breadwinner. But the Lord can make the dark light.

Betty Wright

'Pain' is more indicative of what I like to do. I'm lyric-conscious. I like to tell stories, give advice. Instead of writing a 'Dear Abby' column, I do it on records.

Betty Wright

Hands down, Rick Ross is a genius. Hands down, Diddy is a genius. Hands down, Kanye is a genius. All of them.

Betty Wright

I love competition because I've always run faster when somebody was running next to me.
