I really didn't have an interest in being in the kitchen until after I was married, when I was 18. It didn't take me long to realize that Mama was not going to show up at my house every day and cook.

You know, nobody can ever cook as good as your mama.

There's not one food that causes diabetes.What causes Type II diabetes is being overweight... I've just come to grips, over the past four or five months, with my diabetes.

I feel like 'embattled' or 'disgraced' will always follow my name. It's like that black football player who recently came out.

Change doesn’t happen overnight. It starts with the desire, then one small step in the right direction.

I is what I is, and I'm not changing.

If you have a dream, FOLLOW IT.
