I'm not going to be somebody who wants to hold on to my fame for the rest of my life.

Don't freak out until you know the facts.

My voice is stronger today than ever.

You want me to describe Elvis, wow!

You are the one, I think I'm in love... life has begun.

Coming from where I came from, it was unimaginable to ever be wealthy. That was just too far out of my reach.

I had been very angry, angry enough to lose control; none of us are above it.

I'd like to see the Olympics live. I've only watched it on television.

I don't eat meat, fish, or eggs. I was never a big meat-eater, but I've got more energy now.

I feel sexy when I get out of the tub - your skin is fresh and you've put up your hair without looking.

I've succeeded as far as I'm concerned - I don't feel that I have any cliffs I could fall over anytime soon.

So many people bare their midriffs, I don't know why mine is such an issue.

I really hope my peers appreciate and respect what I'm doing.

Writing is very much a playground - an artistic playground. It's the most fun thing I do.

I'd rather die standing than live on my knees.

When you don't come from struggle, gaining appreciation is a quality that's difficult to come by.

The best thing about being a woman is the prerogative to have a little fun!

I don't want my body to be a distraction from my talent or my brain.

You learn to accept your reality
