Black men don't like to be called 'boys,' but women accept being called 'girls.'

It’s easier to look sexy when you’re thinking of one man in particular.

I've never dropped anyone I believed in.

Fame to me certainly is only a temporary and a partial happiness ... fame is not really for a daily diet, that's not what fulfills you. It warms you a bit but the warming is temporary. It's like caviar, you know - it's good to have caviar but not when you have to have it every meal and every day.

Some of my foster families used to send me to the movies to get me out of the house and there I'd sit all day and way into the night. Up in front, there with the screen so big, a little kid all alone, and I loved it. I loved anything that moved up there and I didn't miss anything that happened and there was no popcorn either.

If I play a stupid girl and ask a stupid question, I've got to follow it through. What am I supposed to do, look intelligent?

A woman can't be alone. She needs a man. A man and a woman support and strengthen each other. She just can't do it by herself.
