You're not living if you don't go out and try things for yourself.

There is nothing I love more than my role as a mom.

Family makes a house a home.

I'm really not sure what people think or expect me to be, but I am surprised when people say, 'You're not supposed to be like that ' I'm not exactly sure what 'that' is, so I choose to take it as a compliment.

My son is very into music and really familiar with my voice.

I was brought up singing gospel, and I really enjoy getting the church up on their feet, their hips swaying, their hands clapping, it's a great feeling to evoke that energy for the Lord.

My ultimate film role would be to play the queen of soul, Aretha Franklin.
