Quote

You can't let fear paralyze you. The worse that can happen is you fail, but guess what: You get up and try again. Feel that pain, get over it, get up, dust yourself off and keep it moving.

My mom has always been my champion. She was very smart and grounded. She said, 'Save your money. Pay your taxes. Don't put everything in one basket,' but she let me explore and be creative.

Be bold, be brave enough to be your true self.

I'm a sucker for a man who cries. It just gets to me.

I definitely think we need to lean more on God. And I do think we need to praise, because we need to give it outward. You know, whenever you think you're in tough circumstances, there's always somebody who's in a worse position than you.

I enjoy going to work and having a good time. It's tough when you got to work with people who just are in a bad mood all the damn time.

So often, you don't get that opportunity. You only go over everything once and, the next thing you know, you're on set.

I lost relatives to AIDS, a couple of my closest cousins. I lost friends to AIDS, high-school friends who never even made it to their 21st birthdays in the '80s. When it's that close to you, you can't really deny it, and you can't run from it.

I want every day to be life for the living, not just traipsing through it existing. I'm just interested in life and the world and exploring.

My mom was my main influence growing up, and Phylicia Rashad reminded me a lot of my mother, just the way she handled certain things, she was... not soft-spoken but smooth-spoken. Just very calm, cool, collected about things.

The more you push the budgets up, the more you make records cost $20, the more you make records last 4 and 5 minutes on the radio.

The objectification of females is not a good thing! Not every rapper does this, but when the lyrics focus solely on the strip club, 'poppin' bottles' and how many girls they can 'tap,' it distorts what kids are learning. I think if there was more of a female presence in hip hop we could break up the monotony. It's all about balance.

Those curveballs are always coming-eventually, you learn to hit some of them.

Dolly Parton made me chicken and dumplings. That Tennessee woman can burn some pots! And we know that I am not necessarily shy to a fork!

You do silly things for love sometimes and not-so-smart things for love.

I often find it's just the confidence that makes you sexy, not what your body looks like. It's how you feel about yourself that makes you sexy.

It's not always easy to do the right thing. But, doing the right thing makes you strong, it builds character.

I didn't know I had it in me. There's more to all of us than we realize. Life is so much bigger, grander, higher, and wider than we allow ourselves to think. We're capable of so much more than we allow ourselves to believe.

I really don't know how to be anyone else, and whenever I try to be anyone else, I fail miserably. Or I disappoint myself. It doesn't build my self-esteem, and it doesn't help me grow me at all.

We ignore our feelings a lot, I realize. Many of us have to... until they really bite us in the butt.

I've never wanted to be put into a box, not musically.
