They're gonna keep knocking away until all this comes crashing down. But I'm not gonna ever crash. I'm in control.

I would have never dreamed that my career would be this successful. I grew up in an average home in Barbados, and we didn't live in the best neighborhood. But I was never aware that we were poor; my mom never made us feel that way. She loved me unconditionally. She made us feel anything was possible and instilled in me such confidence.

You can't master your future if you're still a slave to your past.

I have always loved kids. They are little adults with so much personality, and it is fun to work with that. Whether that means donating school supplies or medication, or [using my celebrity] to get them a bone marrow transplant, I want to help.

Sometimes it takes a thousand tries to win

I'd love to date somebody cool, fun, funny.

I'm crazy and I don't pretend to be anything else.
