I think that women find their strength and power in their sexuality, in their sensuality within, [through] getting older and being secure within that.

I don't like rehearsal.

People are so involved with immediate care, but at the same time there needs to be investment in educating people as adolescents when they're still HIV negative.

Women are not allowed to be [complicated] in our society. We're comfortable seeing women as great mothers, and then we're comfortable seeing them as hookers, but there's no in-between.

Yet there's a hunger in me still. I'm like only beginning. I feel like I still have so much to learn.

You choose the life you want for yourself, and then you just shut up and go about it. That's how I've lived my life.

I do not think that condemning people who murder and killing them necessarily sends out the right message.
