When we become acquainted with any person on a human level, even a great enemy, we begin to see that no person is really so different from ourselves.
With every song I have a person in mind who, in a perfect world, would perform with me. Usually I end up not getting that person, and I'm forced to settle for someone else.
I was a personality before I became a person - I am simple, complex, generous, selfish, unattractive, beautiful, lazy and driven.

At 49, I can say something I never would have said when I was a player, that I'm a better person because of my failures and disgraces.
I will listen to a beautiful person much more quickly than a plain person, and I have to learn to be nice to people who are not attractive looking.
God is not a God of religion because He is personal. He deals with every one of us personally and no matter who we are He loves us unconditionally because God is love.

There's so many misconceptions about me and my personality. People think I'm not a nice person, you know, or maybe a diva; not just about me, but the misconceptions of other models as well, or supermodels.
Blaming others is an act of refusing to take responsibility. When a person can’t accept the fact or the reality, they blamed another person or the situation instead of taking accountability.
