Michel'le

“For many years I was unwilling to share my personal experiences.”

“Looking back I didn't even know I was depressed, I was just so used to feeling that way and thought that was what life was. I tried telling my family and friends but they just blow you off and say: 'Yeh right.' They don't know what it is, so they just don't want to be around that.”

“I'm used to people being surprised at how I talk.”

“When I was a little kid we got whipped. It was nothing new to me, I was used to it.”

“I am so excited about working with the girls at the Boys & Girls Club East Los Angeles. Being apart of a program that helps young people go after their dreams is something special and I feel it's an honor and privilege to participate.”

“I was with Dre when he was just selling tapes. He didn't have a car, a license or a job.”

“Believe it or not when I got with Suge he really didn't beat me.”

“When my mother and my grandmother died three months apart, I knew my world was over. They were everything to me and my world was shattered.”

“On 'R&B Divas,' there were times when we wanted to just sit and laugh and the producers created drama.”

“I don't have any regrets. I call them disappointments.”

“When I met Dre, N.W.A. didn't exist, nor did Michel'le. And I think we had a chemistry.”

“I had five black eyes. I have a cracked rib. I have scars that are just amazing.”

“I stayed because it was normal. After the first hit, you don't think they're going to do it again. And it does escalate, but I stayed because it became normal. I didn't call the police because I didn't want them to go to jail and it just was normal.”

“I wear black a lot. I like black.”

“Suge is more mature than Dre, believe it or not. He came from a married household. He knew what love was. Dre may have missed that window.”

“I never thought I could make it big. I was just a cashier. I didn't want to be just another average person, but all I had was some dreams.”

“We had everything. We were young kids. We were driving cars our parents couldn't afford, living in big houses. For me to sit here and say, 'Oh my God, I didn't enjoy any of it' - no, I did. Of course I did.”

“I am used to Suge's behavior, most of our relationship was under the shadow of him being in and out of prison and always being in trouble.”

“I am so excited about my partnership with Thinkfactory Media.”

“I can truly say that a lot of things that happened in my life, saved my life.”
