I kinda see everyone as competition. I'm a very competitive person. But I think that's good. Competition is great. And as long as it's friendly and not a malicious thing, then I think it's cool.

I study once in a while. But my parents never pushed us into anything. Until we were 18, my mother would make us go with her to Kingdom Hall, and when we turned of age, she let us choose what we wanted to.

I'm convinced that we Black women possess a special indestructible strength that allows us to not only get down, but to get up, to get through, and to get over.

People can have rhinoceros skin, but there's a point when something's going to hurt you.

I'm happy with the people that I have around me. And they've been friends of mine since I was young, for a very long time.

I don't see anything wrong with staying young looking as long as you can.
