All the criticism is ultimately a blessing in disguise. Because now people know about Malawi [due to the child adoption]. And now people know about the orphans there. And hopefully it's gonna turn around. And a positive is gonna come out of the negative.

I think my biggest flaw is my insecurity. I'm terribly insecure. I'm plagued with insecurities 24/7.

I don't think ultimately God punishes. I think we bring about our own destruction or our own creation.

I don't care anymore if people dress like me, now I want them to think like me.

Until I learned to love myself, I was never ever lovin' nobody else.

One thing I've learned is that I'm not the owner of my talent; I'm the manager of it.

One of the many things I learned from all of this: If you aren't willing to fight for what you believe in, then don't even enter the ring.
