I don't like to have too many makeup artists around, so I always like to do my own.

One thing you cannot control is nature.

It takes a long time to get to be a diva. I mean, you gotta work at it.

I just appreciate still having the longevity that I've had in my career.

Either black people end up being the best in sports, or else it's show business. You know, we all got rhythm.

I'm really lucky, I have my performing career so I can continue to do personal appearances. Most actors have to do a film. But I thought I would wait until I found something I really liked.A lot of my friends feel that I'm wrong to wait. They say I should have done My Bodyguard, but I don't think so. I think I've been right.

My problem is that people have been writing books about me.A lot of things that people write about you are incorrect, but you don't fight about it.
