I know I always say my occupation is not dancing, but dancing is in my heart, dancing makes me feel good.

Dancing With The Stars' is a little family. The cast, we're all together - we're a really friendly competition.

Money talks. This is the thing, at the end of the day, I do what I have to do, and I'mma keep doing what I have to do.

I am definitely the queen. I definitely see myself as the queen.

Everything we do should be a result of our gratitude for what God has done for us.

I'm married to the street; I ain't gonna switch over. I ain't gonna go religion on nobody. I believe in God - God is for the thugs too - but the streets are in the most trouble. So I'mma keep it focused on the streets and the struggle. That's what I'm mainly about.

This culture is sort of antithetical in everything it says to the kids. I don't want to pick on 'Jersey Shore,' but it's pretty clear. I would tell the kids good behavior and hard work will pay off, and then they go home and watch TV and go, 'Oh, that's not true.'

People get a little bolder and more wild in summer. You've got things going on kabobs, things cooking on the bone. There's something about standing over a grill or outside with the family that inspires us.
