We need to reshape our own perception of how we view ourselves. We have to step up as women and take the lead.
What goes around comes back around.
Who I am on stage is very, very different to who I am in real life.
Take all the rules away. How can we live if we don't change?
One of the things that kept me out of trouble was doing something creative - creativity can't be judged.
I am so looking forward to it. I made sure I had a strong foundation before I became pregnant and I think that's the most important thing. There were a lot of things that I wanted to do personally so that when the time came, I really knew who I was and could be the best mother.
Love is something that never goes out of style. It's something everybody experiences, and if they are not in love, people usually want to feel that.
I think it's healthy for a person to be nervous. It means you care.
Embrace your past, but live for now
I don't like to gamble, but if there's one thing I'm willing to bet on, it's myself.
I feel more beautiful than I've ever felt because I've given birth. I have never felt so connected, never felt like I had such a purpose on this earth. The best thing about having a daughter is having a true legacy. The word love means something completely different now.
I mean, I feel like you get more bees with honey. But that doesn't mean I don't get frustrated in my life.
I grew up upper-class. Private school. My dad had a Jaguar. We're African-American, and we work together as a family, so people assume we're like the Jacksons. But I didn't have parents using me to get out of a bad situation.
Everyday we see your heart and character, inspiring all of us to give more of ourselves.'You are the leader to take us from where we are to where we need to be.
