I wish I had an extra day with my mom sometimes. Or another hour in the day with my family, husband and children.

It was only for two years, and I jumped from family to family. It's very scary.

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

My God is a God who wants me to have things. He wants me to bling. He wants me to be the hottest thing on the block.

You either learn from your experiences or go back and do the same thing, and I learned from my experiences.

I think everyone should understand history of segregation the same way we had to go to school and read about George Washington. I believe this generation should know their history and they should know that the struggle's not over yet. For instance, you can't get the cover of a magazine if your skin is too dark.

As far as men go, they never gave me a chance to be me; they were always scared that somebody was going to take me.
