I have very few friends. I'm an associate of everybody and friend of none.

I learned from my mistakes, I was able to accept the things that were my fault and to be able to grow from that. You have to be able to see growth from your experiences and I've done that.

Some men are afraid of women who challenge them and demand respect and answers. That's who I am and will always be.

It is much easier to fight through this thing called life with someone, as opposed to fighting alone. I absolutely want to be a wife and to come home to somebody who I know adores me.

I know how to play comedy when it's needed. So even when it's really not there, my facial expressions are really great. I have a lot of facial expressions in my face, you know.

I'm a talkative person because I like to get to know a person and I like you to get to know me.

I'm not into younger men. A couple of years younger, maybe, but I'm not a cougar. I'm not a panther either.

Growing up, I stayed in a child's place. My father was murdered when I was 20. I was a model and never had a real job and my parents took care of me.

I intimidate a lot of men, because I've done a lot. I'm established. I'm successful.

When I was younger, I thought LisaRaye sounded so country, but I've come to really appreciate my family-given name. I was named after my father, David Ray McCoy, and I'm totally a daddy's girl.

As an actress, I have put myself out there as an independent black woman, a single mom, a go-getter, a hustler who isn't afraid to survive.

A named thing is a tamed thing.

Either one fails in one's art or in one's life.

My husband and I had to raise five of my younger brothers and sisters. They lived with us. We sent them to school.

The Navy is a master plan designed by geniuses for execution by idiots. If you're not an idiot, but find yourself in the Navy, you can only operate well by pretending to be one.

Just like the submarines, deep men are also unaffected by the storms!

The beauty of e-governance is that a few keystrokes can bring smiles on a million faces.

The pleasure a reader gets is often equal to the pleasure a writer is given.

It took me 40 years to write my first book.

I shall laugh myself to death at this puppy-headed monster!

Diseased Nature oftentimes breaks forth In strange eruptions.
