Look at how hard it was to get to where I am. It doesn't make sense to give it up.

I'm black, I don't feel burdened by it and I don't think it's a huge responsibility. It's part of who I am. It does not define me.

I am a woman in process. I'm just trying like everybody else. I try to take every conflict, every experience, and learn from it. Life is never dull.

That's the gift that a mother can give, to make everyone feel like they are the special one.

I didn't get where I am today by worryin' about how I'd feel tomorrow.

I am not as simple as I look.
