I'm proud of being a mother, a wife, a daughter, and a sister, and a lover and a friend We're all God's children.
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.
I believe that children are our future
My mother sang with me in her stomach; I sang with Bobbi Kris in my stomach. I believe the child starts to develop within, and whatever you read, whatever you think, whatever you do affects the child.
I've read about myself and my husband and my family, to the point where they've called my parents, they've called my brothers, offering money to tell stories. They call friends of mine. I'd just like for them to just ... don't badger us. Don't scrutinize us. We have children and they have to live, too. It's not fair.
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be.
I believe the children are our future
I believe that children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they possess inside.
Being around people like Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Dionne Warwick and Roberta Flack. . . had a great impact on me as a singer, as a performer, as a musician.
Bianca didn't really need any help out there; she was beating us by herself.
Contrary to belief, I do the hitting, he doesn't. He has never put his hands on me. He is not a woman-beater. We are crazy for one another. I mean crazy in love, love, love, love, love. When we're fighting, it's like that's love for us. We're fighting for our love.
We don't really know much about them. But if they try to slow it down, we'll just keep on going.
If she was a friend of mine and she ever asked me for advice -- which is hard to imagine -- I'd say, 'Dump the husband!'
checked him out when he wasn't even looking.
