“There are things people are not aware of because this whole quote-unquote ‘diva’ thing is always what people see first,” the five-time Grammy winner, 52, told W Magazine in a phone call interview published Friday — a conversation she had while taking a bubble bath.

Patricia Carey — who is white — performed with the New York City Opera. Alfred Roy Carey — who was black and Hispanic — was an aeronautical engineer.
