I don't think of myself as a poor deprived ghetto girl who made good. I think of myself as somebody who from an early age knew I was responsible for myself, and I had to make good.

What you focus on expands, and when you focus on the goodness in your life, you create more of it.

I still have my feet on the ground, I just wear better shoes.

I wasn't remembering the gift that God had given me. I had totally put all that aside. And my daughter was growing up before my eyes, and I just wanted to grab hold of that. It goes by so fast. I wanted to watch her. I wanted to be that parent - because at that point in time, I was a single parent. Watch her go to school, and when she got home, be there. I wanted that moment.

The key to realizing a dream is to focus not on success but significance.

Life whispers to you all the time...from the time you wake up in the morning and with every single experience.

The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire.
