I'm on my way to a place where I'd never dreamed I'd be, and that's perfection.

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

No one intimidates me because I'm not trying to do what you do, because I can't do what you do. I can only do what Mary J. Blige can do, so that relaxes me right there, and it gets me out of the competition and that whole thing.

You demand respect and you'll get it. First of all, you give respect.

If you're here right now in your life, your journey continues and you've lived to tell the story.

Don't go a full day or night without washing your face. You have to get all the dirt and makeup out of your pores.

We are all just a work in progress.
