“I’m not a subscriber to walking into large corporate entities that I have to walk into and be waiting in line, because then I have to stand there.”

I work myself into the ground. But I think I’m a nice friend and a good person, and I try to do my work as best I can.

Pregnancy was probably the best and the hardest thing I’ll ever go through. I know for a lot of women, it can be wonderful and relatively easy.

You can fight against people, and fight to the death, but can’t control the world.

In this world, I call the shots and I think I know best.

I know you’re shining down on me from Heaven, like so many friends we’ve lost along the way. And I know eventually we’ll be together, one sweet day.

The best part of making music, for me, is collaborating and working with new people and fresh sounds and all those things that get people excited to continue in this business that we all love so much.

If you see me as just the princess then you misunderstand who I am and what I have been through.

Only once in a lifetime love rushes in, changing you with the tide.

You can’t live with regrets. It’s about the journey.

If you just believe in me. I will love you endlessly.

See, I’m looking for a man that’ll rub me slow, make me sing real high when he goes down low.

I always felt like the rug could be pulled out from under me at anytime. And coming from a racially mixed background, I always felt like I didn’t really fit in anywhere.

I’m very hard on myself and I have too many issues.

I’m not one of those people that goes into details of my personal life on national TV to get attention. Some things are better left unsaid.

If you believe in yourself enough and know what you want, you’re gonna make it happen.

I’m really fortunate. I’m really happy, and I’m really really lucky to be where I am.

I’m the fastest walker, and everyone makes fun of me for it.

A man must walk before he can fly – one cannot fly into flying.

Always walk around like you have on an invisible tiara.

Some people take certain things and they try to forget what that pain felt like. I don’t. I take that same pain and I chase it every time I walk in a weight room.

Anyone who truly walks with God, walks humbly. The closer we draw near to Him, the more we behold His majesty!

Instead of running from what you don’t want, walk with commitment toward what you desire. Focus on where you are going rather than being obsessed with where you have been.

If we wait for the needy to walk through our church doors, we may wait a long time. God doesn’t wait for people to come to Him. He goes to them.

I want to walk into a room, be it a hospital for the dying or a hospital for the sick children, and feel that I am needed. I want to do, not just to be.
