For a woman to be able to dominate and also be feminine and soft, that's a talent. And its not all about appearance. A woman who has a brain, who is street-smart and book-smart, that woman is very, very sexy to me.

My philosophy is I'm raising future adults, not children.

Success is measured by personal happiness.

I was very fortunate to be able to represent an icon to many African Americans.

Normally you don't have the benefit of preparing someone to pay homage to you and what you've done in your life. Usually, you pass away and someone does a tribute to your character and who you were during a specific period of your life.

There's always that one person, That will always have your heart. That one person for me is you.
