I'm in charge of raising a young woman one day, to be a mother and hopefully a wife.

I guess I have to prove myself all over again, even if it's to the world. I don't have a problem doing that.

A role model can teach you to love and respect yourself.

I don't care how much money you have in the world. It's not about that. It's all about time.

I want to live. I didn't have time to die.

I had an attitude problem when I was a kid. I'm not gonna lie.

I've traveled the world in one of the best groups ever. I'm 42.

I want to raise my own baby. I don't want my baby crying for some other strange lady, some nanny. I am not down with that.

I think Barack Obama's foreign policy will be regarded more failure than success.

I have good reason to be content, for thank God I can read and perhaps understand Shakespeare to his depths.

I spent my life in the library reading books.

The moment when one thing turns into another is the most beautiful moment. A combination of sounds turns into music. And that applies to everything.
