I was fortunate enough to hook up with Quincy Jones and had a lot of success. But the music of the '80s really changed when the '90s hit. For me to chase that dream or career of music, I started a family, started on 'Melrose Place,' so it was something I didn't have the time or energy.

By patting somebody on the back, a boy or a girl, a professional dancer, male, female, it really makes people feel good and I know it certainly made me feel good.

My kids are at a point in their lives where I'm a moral compass for them. God help them both.

My mother has been the greatest influence on my life, morally. When I get right down to it, my mother and father are two people I can count on no matter what.
