“As far as my personality, my friends and family know I'm crazy! I love to have fun; I'm bubbly. People say I'm funny but I don't know that I'm funny: I don't try to be funny and tell jokes and stuff like that, but I always got something slick to say.”

“Excellence is not a single act. You are what you repeatedly do.”

“A lot of people ask me about my past. It's part of my life, so I expect people to ask certain questions. Maybe they're curious.”

“I'm very to myself.”

“I like to eat a whole lot. I have an inner chubby girl, and her name is Mabel, and I feed Mabel a lot. I give her what she wants. If Mabel wants a honey bun, she gets it. If Mabel wants Krispy Kreme, she gets it. If Mabel wants fried chicken or ham hocks, she gets what she wants.”

“Being an actress and a singer, you get more 'nos' than you get 'yes.' You get more rejection than you do anything else.”

“With any relationship that you have, don't lose yourself in it.”

“I feel it's very important to build your foundation first before sharing your relationship with the world.”

“I don't use a lot of heat on my hair.”

“A lot of time, mothers put their kids first, their selves aside, and then there's some moms who are like, 'Look, I'm going to try and balance it all out and still have my personal life.'”

“I can sometimes work out three times a day. I love hot yoga. I enjoy it.”

“I love Houston music to death.”

“I would audition for all the school plays, and finally, my last year, I got the role as Pinocchio - finally.”

“I would love to do something with Gwen Stefani.”

“I'm like an international girl all day long. But I love the black women in my life: my grandmother, my mom.”

“I still do believe in carrying yourself a certain way, and I do my best to be somewhat of a role model. I'm not a perfect person. I'm a human being. I'm not the Lord, but I do accept that responsibility, and that's why I do try to carry myself with confidence, with poise, with grace, and with class.”

“When you love someone, they have a piece of you, one of the most important pieces of you, and that's your heart. And when you decide to love freely and love hard - like I do myself - that's a risk that you're taking - getting hurt.”

“It's very important to have that prayer life. It's very important to communicate always.”

“You pray for things, and you know, we all have our wishlists, but I've learned to pray for whatever's in your will.”

“Everybody thought I was going to give up after the Destiny's Child situation. But I'm not one to say, 'Oh, poor me - it's over.' I knew that as long as I kept a strong prayer life, I would be able to fulfil my destiny.”
