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.

My mother taught me that when you stand in the truth and someone tells a lie about you, don't fight it.

Loneliness comes with life.

I was aware of people staring at me. No one moved. They seemed almost in trance. I just stared at the clock in the center of the church. When I finished, everyone clapped and started crying.

What's in your soul is in your soul.

I love to sing, but it's just not fun anymore.

I'd rather be alone than unhappy
