I do things I love doing. Sometimes that is maybe going out to have a drink with friends, going out partying or whatever.

I read poetry to save time.

At the end of the day, we started playing football because we loved it.

In poverty and other misfortunes of life, true friends are a sure refuge. The young they keep out of mischief; to the old they are a comfort and aid in their weakness, and those in the prime of life they incite to noble deeds.

Friends are thieves of time.

Success in its highest and noblest form calls for peace of mind and enjoyment and happiness which come only to the man who has found the work that he likes best.

True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity, before it is entitled to the appellation.

I have a feeling that I make a very good friend, and I’m a good mother, and a good sister, and a good citizen. I am involved in life itself – all of it. And I have a lot of energy and a lot of nerve.

I’m just wanting to make the proper breakfast and keep the house. That’s my passion. At the request of my kids, I’m taking cooking classes. As I go to sleep at night, I think, ‚Did I do a great job as a mom, or was that an average day?‘

My audience went, ‚Wait, why is she singing jazz? What’s going on?‘ And then they went, ‚Oh, because she can. Because she loves it.‘ And jazz, a music invented by the African-American community, is the greatest art form, I believe, to have ever come out of this country.

I’ve had mixtapes that have been better than albums I’ve heard from other artists. I take my time; I put my heart into it.

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

Music is my shining light, my favorite thing in the world. T get me to stop doing it for one second would be difficult!

I had a rough childhood coming up, and I just took all that negative energy and made it very positive for myself to drive me. I’m a very driven person. I have passion that almost scares people, just to be successful and make it no matter what.

I don’t intend to stop making music.

I think that success is having fun.

Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

Passion rebuilds the world for the youth. It makes all things alive and significant.

I don’t control my writing – it controls me.

I never wanted to sing. I just wanted to play rhythm guitar – hide in the back and just play.

Poverty breeds despair. We know this. Despair breeds violence. We know this. In turbulent times, isn’t it cheaper, and smarter, to make friends out of potential enemies than to defend yourself against them later?

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

Enthusiasm is the most important thing in life.

No one is a friend to his friend who does not love in return.

In football, I don’t have a lot of friends. The people who I really trust, there are not many… Most of the time, I’m alone.

My friends, no matter how rough the road may be, we can and we will, never, never surrender to what is right.

It all went wrong with football, the thing I loved most of all, and from there, my life slowly fell apart.

No passion so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear.

Whatever you want to do, if you want to be great at it, you have to love it and be able to make sacrifices for it.

I know I’m talented, but I wasn’t put here to sing. I was put here to be a wife and a mom and look after my family. I love what I do, but it’s not where it begins and ends.

Art was, seriously, the only thing I’d ever wanted to own. It has always been for me a stable nourishment. I use it. It can change the way that I feel in the mornings.

Age appears to be best in four things; old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read.

A friend is one who has the same enemies as you have.

How can one take delight in the world unless one flees to it for refuge?

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years.

Music is in my DNA!

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

For me, it’s about becoming a mogul, owning my own projects, and establishing myself as a funding producer. That’s what’s big to me. The movies and all that stuff are great, but the fact that I’m in a position to do what I want to do, however I want to do it and when I want to do it is bigger.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

Marriage is a series of desperate arguments people feel passionately about.
