“My ultimate film role would be to play the queen of soul, Aretha Frank...” — Jennifer Hudson Quote

“My ultimate film role would be to play the queen of soul, Aretha Franklin.”

“Chocolate is what I love. I have it every day.”

“I want to be around for a long time, singing and making albums and movies.”

“I was just obsessed with soul singers who had these big powerful voices. I used to listen to Aretha, Whitney, Mariah and try and imitate them, note for note and riff for riff.”

“Like when you hear Aretha Franklin sing - it touches your soul. Crunk music, it makes you just wanna lose your mind - just be free and wild out.”

“The voice of God, if you must know, is Aretha Franklin's.”
