In matters of the heart it is always better to want something you don't have than to have something you don't want.

I clean my house, although I have help. I'm on the floor getting spots. I can't stand a dirty house. I'm a cleaning fanatic.

I haven't stopped looking for the good in people. I've just accepted the fact that I'm not always going to find it.

I was a shy kid with a broom handle that I pretended was a microphone.

I can't do some of the songs that younger girls like Mary J. Blige and Beyonce are doing. They have their own place and I have my own place.

God doesn't do the work for you; he does the work through you. It's not enough to look up; you must also look within.

All I can tell you really is if you get to the point where someone is telling you that you are not great or not good enough, just follow your heart and don't let anybody crush your dream.
