I can be strong for everybody except myself. I can tell somebody, 'Hey, keep it together', but I can't take my own advice.

My daughter recently reminded me not to get so busy making a living, I forget to make a life and I'm going to take that advice.

I'm the type of woman you might say is too good. I'll massage a man's feet, have dinner cooked when he gets home. But once they leave, the door is closed, and the locks are changed.

I have a new television show in the works, and that is all I can say right now.

Why do we need to wait until somebody sells 10 million records to give people a show like that? What about us smaller, hungry folk? At least gimme a curtain!

Many artists give up after a while.

Coming through the fire and through the storm of life with a strong man, my fiance Ashanti, whom I've been dating for eight months and two wonderful children beside me, I'm just so happy that I have been able to maintain my integrity and get to where I am today with the right energy around me.
