I remember seeing the movie 'To Sir With Love' when I was a little girl.

You know, it's just tough to get together and do work with somebody.

I love to sing. It's the easiest thing for me to do.

I mean, I'm not unhappy, but there's still so much I want to do.

In my thirties, I felt I had hold of one of the reins some of the time.

Being a singer is a way for me to get to a platform to do more.

Getting a degree, being on Sesame Street... those were like real accomplishments to me.

But really, we also need to learn how to love one another as women. How to appreciate and respect each other.

Walking through this life really is walking through fire.

I remember seeing the movie 'To Sir With Love' when I was a little girl.

Well. I'm probably not loving myself like I should, but I'm really trying.

I like to work spontaneously.

Everyone in my family sang, and we would always sing these songs.

To me, this degree was an acknowledgment of my work in music.

When I was in my twenties, it felt like I was riding wild horses, and I was hoping I didn't go over a cliff.

My philosophy is familiarity breeds contempt.

I'd been in a vicious cycle and circle of people and couldn't see my way out. So I picked myself up one day about 15 years ago and moved where I didn't know anyone.

I've always struggled so much just to appreciate myself.

I'd like to work on putting art programs back in schools.

There are a lot of people I would have liked to have collaborated with, and would still like to.

One of the album's songs features Mary J. Blige, but I don't want to talk too much about it yet. I think you will hear the music that's been playing in my head when it comes out.

If I love a song, I make it mine.

I think the whole reason for my life is in there somewhere.

We assume that celebrities have it easy and so love to watch them having to endure a bit of hardship.

I love Nautilus and stretching. The results are immediate, and that gives me the motivation to continue.

I am a ordinary teenager. I fall in love like everyone else.

I don't call you handsome, sir, though I love you most dearly: far too dearly to flatter you. Don't flatter me.

The essential elements of giving are power and love - activity and affection - and the consciousness of the race testifies that in the high and appropriate exercise of these is a blessedness greater than any other.

My mother keeps things in perspective for me. She makes me realize that the acting I do and love is no more important than what one of my brothers does-he works in a shoe repair shop. If my career ever tapers off, I'll go to college.

Actors love mental disorders, dialects, and corsets. Give them one of the three and they're happy.

My goal is, of course, for this show to do well, and I would love it if people liked it.

I love living on that stage. Without that, I'd die.

I love my DSL, but I love my WiFi more. And I probably get on the Internet 40 percent to 50 percent more because of the combination of those technologies.

But I love New York. I used to set my alarm clock when I was there, and get up at 4am and get a coffee, just because I could.

I love children and I love men, but I can't commit to either for the rest of my life.

Sitting at home the way I do, I'd just love the hear from people. It'd be a great help in passing the time.

The wise are wise only because they love. The fool are fools only because they think they can understand love.

We can recognize the dawn and the decline of love by the uneasiness we feel when alone together.

Love is a mutual self-giving which ends in self-recovery.

People react to fear, not love; they don't teach that in Sunday School, but it's true.

I sort of understood that when I first started: that you shouldn't repeat a success. Very often you're going to, and maybe the first time you do, it works. And you love it. But then you're trapped.

There is love there. And then there's times when I can't even stomach Simon. You don't have to sit next to him. That's all I have to say.

When I see children, I see the face of God. That's why I love them so much. That's what I see.

One can love a child, perhaps, more deeply than one can love another adult, but it is rash to assume that the child feels any love in return.

I love pasta with the homemade marinara sauce I had as a kid.

They who love dancing too much seem to have more brains in their feet than in their head.

I think I had a more European outlook about the body and sex. The body is in no way dirty, and sex is something beautiful to give to and share with a lover. It has nothing to do with promiscuity, because I only believe in being in love with one man at a time.

I love biomedical science, I love astronomy, and you can't really do much with those in a fantasy setting.

I love the male body, it's better designed than the male mind.
