“You can’t appreciate the good times without the bad ones.”

It’s easy to hear the voices of others and often very difficult to hear your own.

I think it’s important for women to be around other women and learn from each other.

I fell in love with music by listening to R&B, & it’s the core of who I am.

Right now, after giving birth, I really understand the power of my body. I just feel my body means something completely different.

Destiny’s Child will always be No.1 on my list.

Eeveryone says you can only fall in love one, but thats not true because every time i see you i fall in love with you all over again.

Don’t try to lessen yourself for the world; let the world catch up to you.

Take all the rules away. How can we live if we don’t change?

We’re all going through our problems, but we all have the same insecurities and we all have the same abilities and we all need each other.

I felt like it was time to set up my future, so I set a goal. My goal was independence.

The more successful I become, the more I need a man.

Do what you were born to do. You just have to trust yourself.

What goes around comes back around.

If I hadn’t gone through some of the painful experiences in my life, I would not be me.

We need to reshape our own perception of how we view ourselves. We have to step up as women and take the lead.

I mean, I feel like you get more bees with honey. But that doesn’t mean I don’t get frustrated in my life.

Without an understanding of bad, how can one truly have an appreciation of good.

A battle lost or won is easily described, understood, and appreciated, but the moral growth of a great nation requires reflection, as well as observation, to appreciate it.

Always appreciate the gift of life! Be happy and have fun!

There is more to life than simply increasing its speed.

I got a lot of support from my parents. That’s the one thing I always appreciated. They didn’t tell me I was being stupid; they told me I was being funny.

Relish love in your old age! Aged love is like aged wine; it becomes more satisfying, more refreshing, more valuable, more appreciated and more intoxicating!

Its cool that people appreciate fun stuff.

I appreciate people who make hip-hop, the way A Tribe Called Quest and Lauryn Hill and KRS-One did it.
