- [on Donna Summer] Nobody does it like Donna. Underrated! Totally underrated - that voice... everything she sang was phenomenal and I still don't think she's gotten the credit that she deserves ... She can do a show and kill you! Today! That's what I call real women standing and singing, and she is one of those.
- [on Aretha Franklin] The Queen of Everything! The best voice in the world.
