My responsibility to God is to live. That's the gift he gave me. What I do with it is up to me.

My journey continues, because I've, you know, conquered a lot. And I know how to conquer the rest.

The only person that I'm really feeling - because she has an identity of her own, even though she has listened to Mary J. Blige - is Jill Scott.

The streets respect me because I kept it real with me. You gotta be real with yourself, and the streets recognize game.

When you hold on to anger and unforgiveness, you can't move forward.

Life is full of trials and tribulations. It's dramatic when you don't treat people right when you're in the tribulations, but I know now how to get out of it. You have to make a decision to say 'No more', and then you know what to do when the trials happen.

I barely have time for my own children. To adopt more children and not have time for them, that would be poor parenting on my part.
