I don't think I'm a great actress. I think I can act or I can react. Coming from a musical background and being a dramatic singer and writer, when I write stuff I really feel it. So I sing it like it comes from here. That's how I do the acting.

All my momma's people were very musical. My grandpa, who was the Pentecostal minister, he was a great musician. He played the fiddle, he played the piano.

You don't see too many atheists on the deathbed. They all start cramming then.

To me it's a two-way street. They're good to me, and I'm good to them. It's a natural thing for me to love people, and I think people sense it. ... I am secure with the kind of person I am. I don't feel like I'm better than anyone, but I'm just as good as anyone.

My mistakes are no worse than yours.

God has his plans and his reasons. Sometimes we are supposed to go through things so that we learn lessons.

I often get myself in love trouble because I'm so passionate; I love so much and so deep.
