For me at this time in my life I recognize that everything is about moving closer to that which is God. And without a full, spiritual center - and I am not talking about religion, I am talking about without understanding the fullness from which you've come you can't really fulfill your supreme moment of destiny.

Being a mother is the hardest job on earth. Women everywhere must declare it so.

You become excellent, and when you become excellent, no-one can take that away from you.

I was probably toward 8 1/2 when I actually joined the church and was baptized - and, my God, did I take it seriously! I was a zealot who irritated every one of my third-grade friends. They didn't beat me up, but I got labeled "the preacher girl."

I feel my greatest work is yet to come.

In the end, all you have is your reputation.

Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.
