If I could live my life all over I’d do everything the same; the film in my camera would remain the same; there’s no way lord, to leave this love behind.

Pakistan’s being an ally and helping the United States, we ought to show

I’m thankful for every moment.

I did a whole concert in Atlanta with my fly open, and I had a black suit on and a white shirt. My white shirt was protruding from the fly.

I learned more stuff in church than I did in the world.

I have found people on both sides of the aisle, white and black, that’ll give you the shirt off their back.

Trials can be hard, if you don’t know God.

I didn’t have a mother; I had a mama. I measure other women by the stature of my mama.

Pakistan that we are appreciative for the help that’s been extended.

I was an early reader, and my grandmother, who as a child had been forbidden to read by a father who believed books.

When I see someone like Richard Dawkins, I see my father. I grew up with that. I’m basically the child of Richard Dawkins.

To my inner child, I promise I am trying my best to heal from everything that hurt you. I promise I am trying to become the person you need me to be so we can both be whole.

I believe in the right of every parent to choose whether his child shall be educated in the public school or in a religious school supported by those of his own faith.
