Expect much from yourself and little from others and you will avoid incurring resentments.

I believe I would have curtailed my career, by quitting BCG to be with my dad and to help my family, had I not received this paid leave... we would have been in real financial trouble and unsettled.

I love my family very much. I wish I could see them a little more often than I do. But we understand because we're a show business family, and we all work.

Family should be the place where you can be your most complete self.

People - especially white people - they want me to be a role model just because of the life I lead. The things I say in my songs, they expect it of me.

Our children, and all my family, have given me such love and unstinting help over the years, and especially in recent months.
