I love the written word so much, I know it's gonna flow naturally.

How far you go depends on what you want for yourself, how much you're willing to leave on the floor, and how much you wanna face the fears you have inside of you. It's everything we're all dealing with every day.

I believe AIDS is the most important issue we face, because how we treat the poor is a reflection of who we are as a people.

Love is accepting people for who they are and what they are, regardless.

My mixed-race background made me a broad person, able to relate to different cultures. But any woman of colour, even a mixed colour, is seen as black in America. So that's how I regard myself.

My life is rich because I have those kinds of people in my life.

Love is giving of yourself in a way that is free of fear.
