I prefer doing interviews where people don't have to interpret what you say. I'm going to be real honest.

The way to bring about change is to be proactive and active.

You can't be from Montgomery, Alabama, and not have a background in the church. It's at the core of who we are as a people.

I just know that the one thing that we all have in common is challenges. No one lives a challenge free life.

I'm not trying to be a different weight. I want to be a different body type so that I'm not an apple. I just want to be a pear!

I'm probably the most militant person you'll ever meet and I speak my mind without provocation sometimes.

At 21, you can live life with reckless abandon, as reckless as your abandon is. Then, at 30, there's something there are the supposed to be's. You're like, "I'm supposed to be doing this. I'm supposed to be doing that." You start measuring your life by what you think you're supposed to be doing. Having recently turned 40, it's like, "What the hell?! Why am I worried about what I'm supposed to be doing? What do I want to do?" You become fine with wherever the road takes you.
