I always say that you define what success is to yourself..

I take all of my music seriously and personally..

Everyone thought I had everything. I had nothing..

Glibness will get your anywhere..

Life was good, one had only to live it..

I'd tell him, though. Soon. Soonish. Eventually..

Patience! patience! You are always in a hurry, but God is not..

When it’s time, it’s time … and it’s time..

Faith is only as good as the one in whom it's invested..

All the backstories are there but not talked about..

Everything good I've ever gotten in life, I only got because I gave something else up..

You can come back to friendship. You can let it drop, for five years or ten years, and come back to it..

Do not be astonished at anything, even happiness..

For most of our history, no one dared to tell Americans, you don't build that..

When someone tells me not to do something, I'll do it more..

God has always been the head of my life, even before I knew it..

I see courage everywhere I go in Africa..

We were searching for ourselves in each other..

History isn't through with me yet..

I'm a woman of the '90s..

We are what we continually do..
