I wanted to be Cher for a long time, but not for the singing. I just thought she was so cool. I wanted her long hair, and I wanted to weigh five pounds.

I was offered jobs impersonating everyone from Cher to Madonna.

Cherish believes that God made her with a special purpose. Like any teenage girl, she has her insecurities, but for the most part she has a real healthy self-esteem.

Growing up, I thought I was going to be Madonna. I wanted to be a pop star. I wanted to dance and sing.

I wanted to be famous; I wanted to perform. Those things I really, really wanted more than anything else.

I wanted the focus to be on my ability as a singer and as an entertainer - not on my private life.

I guess some people want to be performers because they want to be famous.

When I was young, I was offered my first recording contract in 1971 and was offered quite a bit of money if I would change my character and be a '70s version of Cher.

I wanted to do it my way with my career, and I had this arrogant notion that people weren't just interested in my music but me as a person. That was my bit of arrogance, I guess. That's something I learned from Madonna. I was a fan right from the first time I heard 'Holiday.'
