Imagine for a minute yourself in the same shoes, the same sense of survival and the same nothing to lose.

There are some people who still don't understand. But I know by the end of my fulfillment they will.

You can't really just make someone into something and it works all the time; that person has to be a natural.

I ain't acting when I'm on stage. That's why all the little love bugs who'll come and see me at Lovebox love me. They know it's the real me.

I have low self-esteem and I always have. Guys always cheated on me with women who were European-looking. You know, the long-hair type. Really beautiful women that left me thinking, 'How I can I compete with that?' Being a regular black girl wasn't good enough.

Betcha I wet cha like hurricanes and typhoons, got buffoons eating my pussy while I watch cartoons.

I think, when you're great, not everyone's going to give you your props, and you can't really worry about that. In my eyes, I'm still climbing. I'm still taking myself to the next levels in my career, and that's fine with me. When it's time for my rewards, I will get them.
