Feeling passionate about something doesn't mean you have to be angry.

When I wanted to change the concept of what I was doing, I needed to be more public because it involved more people to collaborate. And I'm doing television now. I have to be honest, I was very afraid to do TV. I said no for 10 years.

If you have to talk to more than three people about the same problem, you don't want help, you want attention.

I love mentoring young girls. I've always been like that.

I'm always trying to do the impossible to please people. It comes from not being secure in myself and not looking at the things within I have to fix. Sometimes you keep going because you don't want to face the truth.

I'm not angry. And I don't like the thing of the 'angry black woman,' either.

I've always been very shy of doing television. I've always said 'no.' Not to be disrespectful to anyone - I didn't want to say 'yes' and then let people down.
