I know how hard it is to be a woman, especially a black woman.

It's just what I'm born to do, I'm born to entertain people. I could do it for thirty-thousand people or three people, it's just what I know how to do. My soul objective only is for me to have the audience say 'when's the next time I can see him?' That's what I do.

I guess I'm going to fade into Bolivian.

I know at times I come across like a Neanderthal or a babbling idiot, but I like that person.

I like horror movies. Nightmare on Elm Street is my favourite. I even get scared a little bit watching horror.

In the scheme of life, in emotion and loss, I responded the way I did. I lost. I shouldn't have responded that way. I've had some people tell me that I did a great thing - sticking up for myself - but to me, personally, with the way that I handled my emotions, I lost. But I learned. That will not happen again.

If my children will live a better life than I did by my getting brain damage, by my being brain dead, then let it be.
