basketball football thinking
Why is it that if you happen to be black and over six feet tall, everybody thinks you supposed to play basketball or football?
criticism negative negative-criticism
I don't let negative criticism, for the most part, bother me.
reading four littles
I like doing the readings and the autographing, but the interviewing gets a little tedious because you get asked the same questions every day and sometimes three or four times a day.
home people house
Let me put it this way: when I read, I learned the world was not as small as my house. And that everybody in my home town was not representative of the way people in the world were raised. And that was what saved me.
names people giving
It's not that marriage itself is bad; it's the people we marry who give it a bad name.
music cracks company
I'd crack up without my music. It's the best company you can have, really. It don't say 'no' or 'maybe,' or ask no questions.
mirrors long age
I remember the day I turned thirty. I was getting out of the shower and I stood in front of the mirror and stared at myself for a long time. I examined every inch of my body and appreciated the fact that I finally looked like a grown woman. I also assumed that this was how I was going to look for the rest of my life. The way I saw it, I was never going to age; I'd just look up one day and be old.
soul information computer
I've got tons of irreplaceable information inside the soul of this computer.
monkeys mama looks
Look, as my mama always said, 'One monkey don't stop no show.
tired men giving
I was tired of chasing ghosts, hollow men who were outside my comfort zone, men who had nothing to give me except a rush. It was all I asked for, and all I ever got.
world percent
The best rush in the world is getting something at 80 percent off.
lonely jobs heart
I been saying it for years: church is full of sneaky men posing as honest souls, and they are perpetuators our here looking for women just like you, with giant holes in your hearts, and they can smell when you got a good job and when you lonely as hell.
want killing wanting-to-die
You've been killing me inside and I don't want to die like this.
writing advice doe
Cruising the Internet doesn't count as writing. Neither does answering e-mail. Before you check Twitter & FB and do other similar tasks that get in the way of writing, write first. (I really need to take my own advice here!)
