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?

My mother was the first singer I had contact with. She sang constantly to us around the house, in church.

I've got a good man. He takes care of me. I don't have to be scared of anything because I know he will kick every ass... disrespect him and you've got a problem.

She's my teacher, my adviser, my greatest inspiration.

I'm the kind of person, if, if I have a day that is nerve-wracking, or my week has been bad or something's going down, I won't eat. Some people eat, I don't eat. And it shows in my physical frame.

Never let your heart take precedence over reason, otherwise you will have problems.

I like being a woman, even in a man's world. After all, men can't wear dresses, but we can wear the pants.
