As far as I'm concerned, my life is just beginning. It's never too late to start over, so this is what I've been doing.

I'll never stop dreaming that one day we can be a real family, together, all of us laughing and talking, loving and understanding, not looking at the past but only to the future.

I would love to have a rapper on one of my songs, like Ludacris, or the 'it's so hot in here' guy, Nelly.

Black people were very angry with me for writing the book. A lot of people didn't believe me, or didn't want to believe me, and that used to really bother me. It was a very painful and difficult time.

It's good to do things that are out of the norm.

Growth is what we all need and what we all strive for because we want to get better and better and better each day.

I think that every day we are taught lessons and sometimes we don't realize or see it.
