There's the part of my life that the public and I share together. And there's the part that's mine to keep for myself. And that's mine. For me.
There are times you can't really see or even feel how sweet life can be. Hopefully its mountains will be higher than its valleys are deep. I know things that are broken can be fixed. Take the punch if you have to, hit the canvas and then get up again. Life is worth it.
What would your life be like if you found out you had 3 weeks left? And you know that you had not begun to live? And you had all these dreams and all these possibilities. And all these things you wanted to do and things you wanted to say and now time's up?
I'm not allowed to get a big head, I've still got to do the simple things in life.
I didn't know I had it in me. There's more to all of us than we realize. Life is so much bigger, grander, higher, and wider than we allow ourselves to think. We're capable of so much more than we allow ourselves to believe.

Bob Johnson had the vision to create a network for us when nobody else was.
I would say I'm voluptuous. Statuesque. Definitely curvaceous.
I'm not one of those people who wake up chatting. I usually don't want to speak for the first 10 or 20 minutes. And I don't really want you to talk to me either!
We had a blast. I can't even remember having this much fun making a movie. It was challenging, of course, but it was wonderful.
It just means I don't have to go far to get home from the premiere. My whole family is here, so it's wonderful. I can celebrate with Jersey for a change.
I'm cool with myself. If I can't have the body of Angie Bassett, so be it.
I used to do school plays. I never really took any acting classes. I'm just a natural ham, I guess.
I got a few marriage proposals in my 20s. I just wasn't ready. I just knew if I committed, I would've wound up doing something wrong, messing it up. I still felt like I had some living to do.
