I can't wait to do the normal things. Like just doing your own groceries. Looking for your own tomatoes. I just can't wait to get up in the morning and look awful. I'm looking forward to getting bored.
To have your niece die in your arms is the greatest gift from god.
I don't just sing for free. It's my work. You're paid for what you do. And I work hard.
For me, singing was real life, not two plus two equals four.
As a singer, I've had many opportunities to travel, and one thing I've learned is that through my music, I can be accepted by people all over the world. I often wonder why so many of us can't accept people who are different here, in our country? It's just not fair to be prejudiced against those whose race, religion or colour aren't the same as ours.
There's always a new thing happening to me that's even more extraordinary, so pressure gets harder. But I like it when it's hard. Anyone can do it when it's easy. When it's hard and you can do it good, you're proud of yourself. There's going to be more pressure as the years go by, that's for sure. But I think I'm a hard worker and I'm ready for that. As long as I believe in what I'm doing, the pressure is okay with me.
I'm everything I am because you loved me.
I'm so centered in feeling great about me that I can give great things to my son and my husband and my family.
There is no other love like a mother's love for her child,
On her baby: He's 16 months old and he eats soap and paper. What's going on with kids?
I knew it was going to be the most extraordinary thing in my life, but how powerful it is, you can never know until you have a baby.
You've been my inspiration, through the lies you were the truth. My world is a better place because of you.
I think that life has a secret, and children they hold that secret. Maybe it's not given to everybody to discover this thing.
I was not a good-lookin' girl. I was extremely skinny. I wasn't pretty. I wasn't cool.
