Believe in yourself. Have faith in yourself because no one else is going to.

I think it's been a little difficult at times for the audience, because they've told me they see me as a family member. So to see your little sister sing about sex... I think they are pretty used to it now.

That's always - that's been another dream of mine, to do a Broadway play. An award winning Broadway play.

You can't hold the record forever, and I know that. I'm not stupid.

That's what I think I am: a lot of fun - a lot of fun to be with.

I still have certain goals that I want. Grammies... Other awards... an Oscar one day.

Dreams can become a reality when we possess a vision that is characterized by the willingness to work hard, a desire for excellence, and a belief in our right and our responsiblity to be equal members of society.
