I love to read. I wish I could advise more people to read. There’s a whole new world in books. If you can’t afford to travel, you travel mentally through reading. You can see anything and go any place you want to in reading.

It doesn't matter what blood or race or creed or color. Love is love and it breaks all boundaries and you just see it right away.

I just wish I could understand my father.

I would just go in my room and just scream out of anger because I didn't understand how a person could be so vicious and mean.

One day my dad said, "If you guys ever stop singing, I'll drop you like a hot potato." That's what he said. It hurt me. You don't say that to children and I never forgot it.

Children have taught me to always be forgiving.

Beat me, hate me, you can never break me.
