Nothing has gotten me out of Philadelphia. I moved 20 minutes away from Philly. That's about it.

Seriously, in America there are more big, curvy girls than there are little girls, and men love us, too.

I think all any artist or person wants to do is grow spiritually, emotionally, professionally and mentally.

I always wanted to be a renaissance woman, do as many things as I possibly can and hopefully do them well or don't do them at all.

When Jett puts my face in his hands and tells me, 'Mommy you're so pretty' or smells me, it's so wonderful.

I chose No. 1 Ladies' Detective, or I'll say it chose me, and it was an absolute blessing, for the experience of being in Africa for seven months and learning so many different things, from languages to foods to greetings. On so many levels, it was an incredible experience.

I do want love. Genuine love.
