I am not perfect! When I was a little girl I thought I was ugly. My nose was too big for my face.

Never give up on your dream... because you never know what the Lord can bless you with.

Judge me if you want to. And as a matter of fact, it won't even count, 'cause the only person who can judge is God.

To achieve anything great in life you must be willing to make a sacrifice.

Don't look at someone else and want to be them. Search within yourself and find out who you are and be someone positive.

When you make pain look this good it never wears out.

I'm careful with my heart. I don't take crap from no one these days. I put my foot down. Being a woman, you deserve heaven and earth.

I feel like, if it's supposed to happen, then it'll happen. God will send me somebody special, whenever the timing is right, so I'm just patient.

I think the most beautiful thing is that we're not parting because there were problems. We're parting because we're celebrating each others' growth.

I'll be stuntin like my daddy.

I think nowadays we're often sidetracked by what somebody got popular doing with all due respect to what they do, but it should be about the talent.

Without the quest, there can be no epiphany.

Without the aid of prejudice and custom I should not be able to find my way across the room.

Creativity is not a solitary process. It happens within networks... when talented people get together, when idea systems and mentalities merge.

Man's relations to man do not captivate my fancy. It is man's relation to the cosmos--to the unknown--which alone arouses in me the spark of creative imagination.

People always come up to me and say, 'you should do standup.' It's nice to discover things about yourself. That keeps everything lively and fun.

After all this time, I know exactly where I belong.

I grew up when the whole Motown thing was huge. The charts in those days were dominated by groups more than solo artists at one point.

If I got involved with the chat rooms and Facebook and everything - I would probably never leave. That's why I don't do it. I literally don't do it. At all.

I need some older, wiser being to cry to. I talk to God, but the sky is empty, and Orion walks by and doesn't speak.

I do not have a helmet. But this is a wig, so it's a little protective.
