Crack is cheap. I make too much money to ever smoke crack. Let's get that straight. OK? We don't do crack. We don't do that. Crack is whack.

Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be.

My mother taught me beauty really lives in places like a smile.

I almost wish I could be more exciting, that I could match what is happening out there to me.

When the night falls, my lonely heart calls.

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.

I'm just fiercely protective. It's like, that's my lair and nobody messes with my lair.
