Nobody makes me do anything I don't want to do. It's my decision. So the biggest devil is me. I'm either my best friend or my worst enemy.
-
Nobody likes to be picked on. Nobody.

I have nothing! Nothing! If I don't have you.

I'm the kind of person, if, if I have a day that is nerve-wracking, or my week has been bad or something's going down, I won't eat. Some people eat, I don't eat. And it shows in my physical frame.

I'd rather be alone than unhappy.

In grammar school some of the girls had problems with me. My face was too light. My hair was too long. It was the black-consciousness period, and I felt really bad.

She's my teacher, my adviser, my greatest inspiration.

I have priorities. Maintaining my daughter is my first.

You can fool people. You can fool anybody anytime of the day, but you can't fool yourself. At night, when you go home, you've got to be straight up with you.

No one makes me do anything I don't want to do.
