I got 27 people livin in my head and all of them was about to beat the heck out of you for doin that..
I think we are born into what we're supposed to learn and find out in this life.
Everyone can relate to love, hurt, pain, learning how to forgive, needing to get over, needing the power of God in their life.
I don't think the dreams die - I think that people give up. I think it gets too hard.
I am so proud to be from New Orleans and to be one of those people who had been displaced. I wasn't there during that time, but that's where I come from, that kind of poverty, and I'm very, very proud of that because it's given me my history.
Happiness for me is totally just being at peace knowing that, everything I'm doing, God is pleased with that. It's complete peace for me.
Children love their mothers. Especially with a boy child and his mother, there's a bond that's unbreakable.
All my life I've tried to hide my height. I was taller than everybody else and stood out, so I would slouch and try to hide it.
The important thing for me is, and what I'd like people to know is that, one particular genre does not make it whole. There are many, many different genres and if you ever gave it an opportunity open mindedly, I think you'd find some pretty interesting things there.
Ever since I've been blessed with success, I've struggled a little with anonymity and even family. I've had people calling asking for money, and I have to ask them first, 'Are you working? Have you been trying to help yourself?' Then I feel like I can help.
There's a huge demand for my entertainment, and I can't meet the need. So I decided to try a TV show to reach as many of my fans as possible.
Statistics say that I'm supposed to be in jail. And I'm not supposed to be alive.
There were certain areas in the country where I couldn't go without being stopped and asked for autographs and pictures for years.
Oprah is very, very, very special to me. She's an amazing woman.
