You never put her in your heart.
There are going to be moments today you don't like me. You'll get over it.
When I say to you, sister-woman, 'You out of order', that isn't an attack on you. I know what I'm looking at. I'm looking at your life, and I see what's there.
A man can't be in the space where there is feminine rage and bitterness. He doesn't know how to navigate it.
Parents are teachers, guides, leaders, protectors and providers for their children.
Why are you measuring? This is how you block, delay, hinder, obstruct and deny his place in the life as a father.
This is probably one of the most difficult challenges any parent could face - learning to love the other parent enough to make the children first.
I'm old. I don't want to work this hard.
After being on 'Oprah' for a couple of months, I got my first royalty check for $1,478,392.17. I will never forget it. At the height of my career, I made $3.3 million. Unbelievable. From welfare in the projects to $3.3 million.

I've always wanted people to know who they are from the inside. Then they can create the life they desire and deserve. I've always believed that my job was to facilitate the evolution of the human consciousness.
People say I've had a difficult time in life. I think I've had an exciting time in life.
Any time there is 'un-forgiveness' between people who love each other, there is suffering. Any time people face challenges that they really don't understand... there is suffering.
