“There was no other path for me. I knew this was my path. I had to follow it.”

I believe in the limitlessness of humans. We’re capable of incredible things. At times, that realization is frightening.

The more you know the stronger you become, the closer you feel to yourself and the farther you can go.

Fear is not a part of my vocabulary, actually, and I think that it’s really made me a much smarter, braver for sure, person.

I grew up in a pretty tough neighborhood. I grew up around drugs, alcohol, prostitution, I grew up around everything, and I think part of seeing that from really young has made me really steer very far away from it in all of its forms.

Moments are so fleeting; I want to hold on to the good ones.

If we took the time to learn more about different places and people, perhaps we would have more empathy for each other.

We have the potential to help people out of poverty, out of disease, out of slavery and out of conflict. Too often we turn the other way because we think there’s nothing we can do.

Maturity and experience are part of my liberation.

Through the shake of an earthquake I will never fall. That’s how strong my love is.

The smaller you strip things down, the more you depend on the songs and yourself, as opposed to arrangements.

I really like to live my life in a low-key fashion.

I feel the presence of a higher power. I believe that what you give is what you get. It’s universal law. I believe in the power of prayer and of words. I’ve learned that when you predict that negative things will happen, they do.

I’d rather believe in my own choice and see it all go wrong than do something I’m not fully convinced of and later feel guilty about it.

I’m a very caring person.

I feel more like I’m a person who has so much to offer in different capacities that it would be a danger for me not to give myself a chance to spread my wings in all different directions.

All women are NATURALLY, bad ass!

Never allow anyone to determine how much of a beautiful woman you are by the features on your face, the shade of your skin, or the size of your body.

Behavior is determined by its consequences.

Remember one thing only: that it’s you-nobody else-who determines your destiny and decides your fate. Nobody else can be alive for you; nor can you be alive for anybody else.

Your thoughts determine your frequency, and your feelings tell you immediately what frequency you are on.

One regret dear world, that I am determined not to have when I am lying on my deathbed is that I did not kiss you enough.

There is no force equal to a woman determined to rise.

There is no force equal to a woman determined to rise.

There is no force equal to a woman determined to rise.
