When I got somethin' to say, I'll say it.

It took me years to eat a lot of shellfish. I was probably 20 years old before I had even seen a shrimp cocktail. I like oysters, but fried.

I grew up around lots of men - my father, my brothers, my uncles - so I wasn't intimidated by them.

There are some people who physically are not beautiful. But the way they are, the way they treat people, they become beautiful, and you forget all about [their looks].

My boobs are fake, my hair's fake but what is real is my voice and my heart.

If your actions create a legacy that inspires others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, then, you are an excellent leader.

I think being poor has been good for me. I saw how my mom and dad struggled, and how they could stretch a dollar farther than you could begin to imagine.
