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

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.

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 struggle with deciding when to answer or ignore the constant speculation about my private life, because I feel like that doesn't belong to anybody but me.

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.'

I have a hard time watching myself! Usually I do the work, and then I leave it. So I pretend like I'm not on TV every week.

A flower that refuses to bloom robs the world of its beauty.

When love invades your life, it captures your heart, imprisons your mind, and frees your soul.

A sap run is the sweet goodbye of winter. It is the fruit of the equal marriage of the sun and frost.

Potatoes have such a high GI rating; it's almost the same as eating table sugar.

I wouldn't go back and change anything.

I don't give concerts, I put on a show.

Choose, but don't want.
