When I finally decided to do the show, I only had two weeks to learn the choreography and the songs in French.
Black people were very angry with me for writing the book. A lot of people didn't believe me, or didn't want to believe me, and that used to really bother me. It was a very painful and difficult time.
I'm a creature of habit and I like to stay in my own little comfort zone, but you have to reach out of that sometimes. And when you do that, you grow.
I married him because he told me it was the only way he could protect me. If we were just manager and client, my family could do whatever they wanted to get me back, but if I was his wife, they couldn't.
I love songs that people can dance to and enjoy at the same time.
I can't say it's not painful being estranged from most of my family. I wish it could be otherwise.
Growth is what we all need and what we all strive for because we want to get better and better and better each day.
No one thought I would be successful. Everyone thought I would fail. You have no idea how much courage it took for me to do this.
For so long, I was controlled and manipulated by other people. Whatever people think of me, I'm finally doing what I want to do.
It is so difficult in the world for people to find love, true love.
That's one of the things that I say to myself as far as a ritual that I have every day: "What can I do today to make it better than it was yesterday?"
I realize now I didn't really want to die. I just wanted to stop the hurt and pain.
This is a very big victory for Michael and we are all very proud that he has been completely and totally vindicated in court, as we were certain he would be.
The end of the trial and the 'not guilty' verdicts on all counts, clearing Michael of all charges, mean that he can now concentrate on the future and his art.
