  • In an interview, she talked about the biggest strength in her life, she said,

My parents were my major driving force for the freedom they gave us. They allowed us to bloom. My mother though was the wind beneath my wings.

In fact the last thing she said to me when she died was that she deeply regretted the fact that I didn’t take to singing.”
