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

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

I'm good where I am at this moment.

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.

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

I decided long ago never to walk in anyone's shadow; if I fail, or if I succeed at least I did as I believe.
