After Obama became president, I realized that black people could not have put him in the White House - it had to be a collective effort of everybody in the country.
My life has always been - there's never been a middle. Either I had or I didn't. Either I was up or I was down.
I truly believe my mother loved me. But feeling it all the time? I didn't.
I'm really happy for the loyalty and continued support of my fans.
What do you spend $200 million on, with a film? I can't wrap my brain around that one.
It doesn't matter if a million people tell you what you can't do, or if ten million tell you no. If you get one yes from God that's all you need.
Once you're truly happy with yourself alone, that's when you are safe to find the right person to spend the rest of your life with.
I wanted just for people to know that, no matter how simple your life is, if you have millions or you don't have anything, you can be happy where you are.
It's not an easy journey, to get to a place where you forgive people. But it is such a powerful place, because it frees you.
Don't wait for someone to green light your project, build your own intersection.
We don't have to wait for people to green light our projects, we can create our own intersections.
Everything that I talk about, pretty much, are things that I learned or understood over the years.
When black women are down with you and in your corner, you have an ally that will move Heaven and Earth.
...when you put on your shortest dress, please leave some mystery in it. That's the difference between a miniskirt and a ho-skirt. A ho-skirt shows your Frisbee. A miniskirt shows just enough to cause some mystery. What these young women lack is mystery.
