I love to see a woman in high-heeled shoes. There's something about the curve of the feet up the leg to the butt that's really, really wonderful, and the right pair of shoes can give you the right silhouette.

The question that a lot of people ask me all the time is how did you make it? The truth be told, it was nothing but the grace of God.

Once you're truly happy with yourself alone, that's when you are safe to find the right person to spend the rest of your life with.

Ever since I've been blessed with success, I've struggled a little with anonymity and even family. I've had people calling asking for money, and I have to ask them first, 'Are you working? Have you been trying to help yourself?' Then I feel like I can help.

I'm a child who was abused. I know the difference. I clearly know the difference. The whipping for correction and then their child abuse.

I'm good at giving up control to people who know where they're going and what they want to do. I can sit in the back of a car and ride cross-country if you know where you're going and you know how to take me there.

It's so important to forgive people for their wrongs in your own life because every bit of it was for a reason-it was to form the person that you are.
