I think people take me as seriously as I want them to. They take me as seriously as I take myself - let's put it that way.
I don't have maids or servants, and my husband and I love waking up early and going to the 24-hour supermarket when there is nobody else there.
If you can read, you can find books on anything you want. You can self-educate even if you can't afford to go to school.
I think your values are always influenced by your family and your community.
I do have a lot of gays in my family now, but some will never come out.
I know that I always wanted things. I was always proud of my people, proud of my home, but I always wanted more. I think most people do.
People will use you as long as you let them.
I had nothing growing up, but I always wanted to be 'sexy,' even before I knew what the word was.
I'm comfortable in my own skin, no matter how far it's stretched. Ha ha.
I'm a singer, a writer and an actress - when I find something that I feel good enough about doing.
I never have thought I was beautiful and I never can get beautiful enough. I'm always doing whatever I can to look as good as I can, nipping and tucking if necessary. When you're older, you probably look more bizarre to people. But I don't care. I'm just totally convinced that it's more important that I be happy with me.
I try to see the good in everybody, and I don't care who people are as long as they're themselves, whatever that is.
We just seem to have lost all our morals and principles and values these days.
When I'm feeling a little low, I put on my favorite high heels to stand a little taller.
