I enjoy going to work and having a good time. It's tough when you got to work with people who just are in a bad mood all the damn time.
I have to be realistic about what I can and can't do. So whatever I do has to really be worth it. I like to master the things I do.
We ignore our feelings a lot, I realize. Many of us have to... until they really bite us in the butt.
As a teenager, I had big breasts for my age, and my friends cracked on me a lot.
Bowling, I like bowling. I've been getting into this bowling thing. It's kinda fun.
Church was a requirement - there was no choice in the matter; so was vacation bible school. Gospel has been in me since I was a kid.
I want to see 10 female rappers getting regular rotation. It can't be all about a man's opinion.
I was not born a size 2. I'm not skinny, period. I'm not willing to sleep with the director or step on somebody else's neck to get the job.
Dolly Parton made me chicken and dumplings. That Tennessee woman can burn some pots! And we know that I am not necessarily shy to a fork!
My mom will make me walk the dogs or take out the trash when I go home.
My house borders horse farms, and I can look out my window and see the horses and the new colts. It's really peaceful.
Most people don't have so much talent that they can become a success all their own. We all need people to help us and lift us up.
If you try to follow everyone else's mold, you'll probably fail at some point because God created us uniquely for a reason.
If you can draw something from my life that helps, more power to you.
