When I decided to be a singer, my mother warned me I'd be alone a lot. Basically we all are. Loneliness comes with life.

I'm tired of people taking off their clothes.

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.

I've always been a thin girl. I'm not going to be fat, ever. Let's get that straight. Whitney is not going to be fat, ever. Okay?

I've got some good saints out there - that's right - that pray for me constantly. You've gotta have that! You do.

I'm good where I am at this moment.

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