Loneliness comes with life.

I feel so blessed to just have done what I had done. To be able to just use what God has given me is a blessing. You know, never mind the Grammys, never mind the records, never mind all of that. Just to be able to sing.

From the beginning, the camera and I were great friends. It loves me, and I love it.

You don't have a baby based on that publicity madness. People don't live like that. Especially black people who were raised in families with morals and standards and integrity.

You get that love from the people. It lets me know that all the madness I go through, all the stuff that the business has to offer with all its madness; it makes it worthwhile.

When you're feeling full of doubt and fear has got you in a bind, love will save the day.

I think over the years, being a mother, I've matured in so many ways.
