Being a black woman, there's so many different sides of us. We are funny, silly, romantic, professional, smart, and we have good jobs.

When love is absent, then there is fear, and in my opinion you should lead your entire life through love.

Whatever your ethnicity is, in this life you are going to be on a journey to discover who you are and how you feel about yourself.

I've always been a performer. That's just what I know.

I like being in relationship because of the comfort it provides.

I don't have a lot of friends; most of the friends I have, I've had since high school.

For some odd reason, I like a man in sweatsuits. Obviously, you want your man to look good in a suit, but I like when men look comfortable, and the swagger just stands out of that.

I'm the little half-black, half-Jewish girl who was odd and awkward. I try to be myself.

I’ve always been a woman of faith.

I do remember being teased by my cousins on my mom's side for not being black enough. And then I'd spend the summer with my dad and be sent to all white summer camps where I was 'that black girl.'

Persistent smile brings out hollow dimples, and persistent frowns brings out hollow wrinkles.

Do you believe we are masters of ourselves, or merely dance like puppets on strings having the illusion of independence?

In youth, the days are short and the years are long. In old age, the years are short and days long.

I need to be more romantic. I do. I know that's something women really appreciate.

My system for staying young is to work a lot, to always have a project on the go.

My coach was a great politician, so he did most of the work. He was good.

Businesses can be opaque. They are complex. You don't know how aircraft engines work either.

The alphabet was one thing when applied to clay or stone, and quite another when set down on light papyrus.

The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the Blood of Christ: all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone! 'Father, the atheists?' Even the atheists. Everyone!
