I have a mother that's very strong and family that surround me and constantly tell me they love me.
My daughter is my greatest inspiration.
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.
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.
When I decided to be a singer, my mother warned me I'd be alone a lot. Basically we all are. Loneliness comes with life.
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 think over the years, being a mother, I've matured in so many ways.
My mother taught me beauty really lives in places like a smile.
My mother taught me that when you stand in the truth and someone tells a lie about you, don't fight it.
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.
