I want to collaborate with me 'cause I've done so many collaborations that after a certain point unless you're really working with a certain caliber of an artist, there's no point [to collaborate].
I listen to older music a lot more than new singers. I listen to whatever's on the radio, but when I want to listen to something that moves me I put on a Stevie Wonder record.
I prayed very hard for this to happen and it happened. I don't even think about what I've achieved, I haven't focused on it and I wish I had, because I really want to enjoy it, and I don't know if I am enjoying it, because I am going through my life like a bulldozer. I still haven't marvelled at it.
I understand people want to hold on to their roots.
If you believe in yourself enough and know what you want, you're gonna make it happen.
Everyone said I was fat, so I did something about it.
It's not about my character, but she has an important part of the story without the whole thing resting on my shoulders. Plus, I'll be able to get up and go to work and be somebody else for the day, and we like that, because sometimes you just need to get away.
I'm inconsolable at the present time, I was a very good friend of Jordan, he was probably the greatest basketball player this country has ever seen. We will never see his like again.
Never, never listen to anybody that tries to discourage you...
They can call me whatever they want, ... I never went anywhere. And my real fans have always been here for me. And, you know what? It's a wonderful feeling and everything I have is because God has blessed me with this and I'll always be grateful for what I have.
Bring me olives and morsels and I'll be happy.
When you love someone so deeply they become your life, it's easy to succumb overwhelming fears inside. Blindly I imagined I could keep you under a glass. Now I understand to hold you I must open my hand and watch you rise.
I don't mind being compared to Whitney, there are people miles worse to be compared to.
But I think I'm a nice friend and a good person, and I try to do my work as best I can.
