The key thing is figuring out what your issues are, and it's really never about the food. You have to be real and honest with yourself. I had to stop and look and ask myself, ‘Why do I want this? What is the real reason?’ At times it was comfort food like chocolate. I love chocolate and I realized it relaxes me, so when you acknowledge what the issue is, you can control it better.

The only way you can sustain a permanent change is to create a new way of thinking, acting, and being.

No matter how big the glam squad, or how dramatic the dress, sometimes things just don’t work out.

Embrace it. Especially because of the lives we live, a lot of times other people have to care for [our kids] and you have to have that mommy time, Get your sleep!

There's no heaven on earth. God would have to guide her through the problems.

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.

When I'm acting I don't sing, and when I'm recording I'm not acting.
