Tatoo your name across my heart, so it will remain / not even death could make us part / what kind is it / It could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare / either way I don't want to wake up from you.
The best thing is looking back and realizing how good life is. If you don't take the time to think about it and analyze it, you'll never realize all the dots that are connected.
I think I've realized that business and being polite [don't] match. You can be fair, but me being polite was not me being fair to myself.
I'm always thinking about women, and what we need to hear. It's difficult being a woman. It's so much pressure, and we need that support sometimes and we need that escape sometimes.
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.
Thank God for my computer. Sometimes when there is no one to talk to, I talk aloud so that I can get all my thoughts out and try to figure out the issues that I'm having and try, I'm trying to find the answers.

We're negotiating solo projects for all three of us. They're all going to come out at the same time.
It's great to come home. I am so glad we're having the All-Star Game in Houston. It's such a great city.
There are certain things in there that are unrealistic. But it has worked for me.
