Crack is cheap. I make too much money to ever smoke crack. Let's get that straight. OK? We don't do crack. We don't do that. Crack is whack.
I'd rather be alone than unhappy
In grammar school some of the girls had problems with me. My face was too light. My hair was too long. It was the black-consciousness period, and I felt really bad.
I'm older, I'm matured... I'm looking forward to the years to come. Good years.
I would stay in my room for days, for days at times, just trying to get it together, to know what my next phase was going to be.
I'm just fiercely protective. It's like, that's my lair and nobody messes with my lair.
I've got some good saints out there - that's right - that pray for me constantly. You've gotta have that! You do.
My mother was the first singer I had contact with. She sang constantly to us around the house, in church.
I have priorities. Maintaining my daughter is my first.
You can fool people. You can fool anybody anytime of the day, but you can't fool yourself. At night, when you go home, you've got to be straight up with you.
I'm the kind of person, if, if I have a day that is nerve-wracking, or my week has been bad or something's going down, I won't eat. Some people eat, I don't eat. And it shows in my physical frame.
I wanted to be a teacher. I love children, so I wanted to deal with children. Then I wanted to be a veterinarian. But by the age of ten or eleven, when I opened my mouth and said, 'Oh, God, what's this?' I kind of knew teaching and being a veterinarian were gonna have to wait.
If I should die this very day, Don't cry...cause on Earth We wasn't meant to stay.
I know that I could really kill for my daughter. I know because I'm living for her, so I'm fierce when it comes down to it. And I feel the same about my husband and my family. I'm just fiercely protective. It's like, that's my lair and nobody messes with my lair.
