I wish I had an extra day with my mom sometimes. Or another hour in the day with my family, husband and children.

I know who I am. I am not perfect. I'm not the most beautiful woman in the world. But I'm one of them.

I listen to gospel music.

I don't know. Only God knows where the story ends for me, but I know where the story begins. It's up to us to choose, whether we win or lose and I choose to win.

I have to have lemon and honey. I have to have apple cider vinegar, Braggs. And I have to have either Red Vines or Twizzlers. These things, you know, are the things that help my vocal performance.

There's so many things that life is, and no matter how many breakthroughs, trials will exist and we're going to get through it. Just be strong.

If you're looking for inner peace from the outside world, you're not going to get that. The inner peace starts with looking at you from the inside.

I'm a playwright. All I care about is the play being good.

I grew up in a house with very few books.

This is a pretty shitty flash mob. It's in my living room, only my family showed up, and they're just telling me to stop drinking.

Just as there comes a warm sunbeam into every cottage window, so comes a lovebeam of God's care and pity for every separate need.

There are scientists who will tell you that spirit, because it can’t be measured, doesn’t exist. Bollocks. It does exist.

Chaos is roving through the system and able to undo, at any point, the best laid plans.
