When other people reject positive changes you make for yourself, there is always some nerve to get to the root of in those other people.

Don't block your blessings. Don't let doubt stop you from getting where you want to be.

My faith in God is everything at this point. Also, my family and friends that I've had around me pretty much my whole life and my boyfriend, we've been together for eight years. I try to keep people around me who've been around me, who've seen me struggle. They know how dedicated I am and how hard I've worked. They know me - not the Jennifer from American Idol and Dreamgirls, but the real Jennifer.

I always say, you never know how much your parents loved you until you have a child to love.

God always works through people.
