My ultimate film role would be to play the queen of soul, Aretha Franklin.

I've always had a love for making things my own.

I once had a crush on one of my teachers. I wrote him a love letter and stuck it in a bag in his office. I didn't write my name on it, but I'm sure he figured out it was me.

All the ladies can feel sexy and have fun in my clothing and that makes me feel like I am offering something truly unique to the people who have been gracious enough to show me such love and support over the years.

There is nothing I love more than my role as a mom.

I always say, you never know how much your parents loved you until you have a child to love.

I used to sing in the church choir. People would say it was unusual for such a small girl to have such a big voice. They would say, 'She sounds like she's grown.'

You're not living if you don't go out and try things for yourself.

Traditional values are big in my life.

It's one thing to lose weight, but it's another thing to eat healthy.

Well, I don't really eat cereal that much because on Weight Watchers it's not worth the points.

When you're shopping you forget about eating!
