You can't just sit there and wait for people to give you that golden dream. You've got to get out there and make it happen for yourself.

I was brought up in this part of Detroit that they used to call the ghetto.

Most people are so hard to please that if they met God, they'd probably say yes, she's great, but.

I really, deeply believe that dreams do come true. Often, they might not come when you want them. They come in their own time.

I don't judge people by their sexual orientation or the color of their skin, so I find it really hard to identify someone by saying that they're a gay person or a black person or a Jewish person.

I know that my fans want to know who I'm sleeping with, but it's really none of their business.

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