I never thought I was a great mom. I always worked. I fell in love with my children as they got older.

We've got to know our history. We have to be able to bring our children to a place that they can be proud of.

There's always something we can complain about. We're all one. Things could always be better, but things could always be worse.

As soon as I finish one thing, there's always something else on the horizon I want to do. I don't have any intention of retiring from anything.

The reason most of the children are having problems in any inner-city neighborhood is because they don't see enough positive role models in their own environment.
