The worst thing about poverty is not the actual living of it, but the shame of it.

Mine is only one of the millions of hearts broken over the death of Whitney Houston. I will always be grateful and in awe of the wonderful performance she did on my song and I can truly say from the bottom of my heart, 'Whitney, I will always love you. You will be missed.'

I have a tendency to be awfully big-hearted and it's very hard for me to say no, even when I need to.

I love everybody. My heart's open to everybody.

People are always asking me in interviews, 'What do you think of foreign affairs?' I just say, 'I've had a few.'

If I can get my dress on, my weight is under control.

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