I feel that if you can transcend the color of your skin, with your talent, why carry that as a badge or a label?

I don't think anyone is black and white and I think we change our minds and our attitudes about certain things as we grow to our maturity.

I'm interested in spirituality and in religion and our relationship to the divine.

There's such a grace and understanding in the female persona when women have really come into their own. Part of that is to have children, and to be caring for those children, and not only in the care for them, but also in the nurturing and raising of them, they have to pass on their souls and their intelligence. And all those things can't be taught. It's something that, that in the essence of a woman, the essence of a mother, a mother knows!

We all do things at certain points that are contradictory. Some things, it's a smaller contradiction, and other things it's larger.

I try to be careful with my persuasiveness. When my heart is really behind it, and when I have no ulterior motive, then I know I’m truly persuasive.
