I have to always, always pay homage to a woman I never met but she touched me like she touched so many others with that amazing voice, Whitney Houston. The very first time I heard her voice, I knew I wanted to make people feel that way. Even if I couldn't do all of that that she did, the way she was able to tell my story without even knowing me, the way she could feel what I didn't know how to express, it was spiritual almost.

A lot of times people have you pegged for what you are, and that's what you are and need to stay in. Going from an actress into my true passion for other people, it may seem kind of backwards.

There are a lot of things that come easy, but they're not necessarily worth it. Anything worth having, you work hard for. That's how I feel I am.

I think that as women sometimes, we put ourselves secondary because we kind of lose ourselves and the part of us that makes us awesome.

There are no one dimensional people.

When you're used to making your money a certain way, especially when you fall in love with the way you're doing it, going back to pursue your true passion can be kind of nerve wracking.

You go through so much with the heartache, the pain, the nonsense, the games, and it's easy to lose sight of the possibility of love.
