Nobody likes to be picked on. Nobody.

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.

I don't like it when they [media critics] see me as this little person who doesn't know what to do with herself -- like I have no idea what I want, like I'm just a puppet ... That's demeaning to me, because that ain't how it is, and it never was.

I broke my heart for every gain, to taste the sweet I faced the pain.

I'm proud of being a mother, a wife, a daughter, and a sister, and a lover and a friend We're all God's children.

I have a mother that's very strong and family that surround me and constantly tell me they love me.

I'm an old-fashioned girl. And I love gospel. I like things that lift me up, inspire me.
