I enjoyed a close relationship with my mother, who set a wonderful example. As such, I have always tried to be as open and honest as possible with the girls growing up. I let them know they could always come to me with anything - and I would be there to support them.

I loved Diahann Caroll growing up. I love a sophisticated, classy woman.

My mother was a very amazing woman. She was a very strong, remarkable woman.

I think that everybody, at one time or another, has been betrayed and lied to, and it's about the pain, and it's about the healing process, and it's about how do you get past that and move on.

You get excited about getting married, aight, but after you're married for awhile, you gotta have a process to make it work, aight.

Because I'm married and have kids, I feel like I sometimes get pegged as a choirboy or something, but I wouldn't exactly describe myself that way.

I do not think that marriage is one of my talents. I've been much happier unmarried than married.

I'm a dog lover. With the holidays, everything gets a little bit hectic. There's a lot on your mind, and maybe you forget that your animals also feel that stress as well. So try to keep them on the same routine; try to keep the chocolate out of their mouth.
