“And my family is everything to me,” she famous. “I like staying busy. Because I love what I do, it keeps me grounded. I’m swimming a lot lately to stay flexible. I must get my sleep which is important to me. I do my best to eat well, but I do like Häagen-Dazs ice cream.”
In March, Ross told followers at a sold-out show in Brooklyn that she’s going to “never retire.”
