Dust does rise, doesn't it? And so can I.

My parents gave me stability and a belief in myself and in all the possibilities life has to offer. I was told the only limitations I would ever face were those I placed upon myself.

Dust does rise, doesn't it? And so can I.

Man will never understand woman and vice versa. We are oil and water. An equal level can never be maintained, as one will always excel where the other doesn't, and that breeds resentment.

I'm not psychic myself.

I often feel the need of a man to take care of me, even though I can certainly take care of myself.

It is frustrating to be a Black woman in the entertainment industry.

Do you know that other than my father, I've never had a man take care of me?

I treat others exactly the way I want to be treated.

There was a time in the marriage when I could no longer look at myself in a mirror, couldn't feel I was a nice person. A bad relationship can do that, can make you doubt everything good you ever felt about yourself.

Years ago I learned to be totally responsible for Dionne Warwick. I will not wait for opportunities. I will create them.

Linda Georgian is a wonderful psychic. She can do amazing things.

A case of can't do with, can't do without, that's why I married him again.

Brazil is where I belong, the place that feels like home. They love their family, their country and God, and are not afraid to let anybody know it.

Crying is cleansing. There's a reason for tears, happiness or sadness.

Healthy children are born from healthy, respected, well-nourished and educated mothers and it is imperative that they have a voice in the decisions which affect them. If you empower a mother and let her have her say towards a poverty-free future, the positive impact this would have on ending hunger will be immense.

I don't think there's anything I can't do. I have no regrets.

I first came to Brazil in the Sixties. Then I started coming back every year since touring most of the country. I grew to love it, the people, the music. I thought this is where I belong. I've been living in Brazil for the past 23 years. I call it my stress-free country.

I have bought a lot of beautiful clothes with my money, but I've also earned it.

I have no desire to look back, I only want to look forward to the things that are still ahead of me.

I look at the careers of people I'm standing on the shoulders of. People like Lena Horne, Ella Fitzgerald, Sammy Davis Jr., and Sarah Vaughan. These are icons I wanted to emulate, and I feel like they've been holding me up for quite a long time.

I love what I do. I was given the most incredible gift that can be given to anyone. I could never imagine a world without music, and I feel grateful that I've been given the ability to share that.

I still have some very dear friends from school, and we get together whenever possible.

I was born into a family of gospel singers. My early ambitions were many. I was going to be a ballerina. I almost had that one come true until I tore a tendon, so I transferred from my toes to my throat and that's where the talent settled.

I'd like to see a world free of strife, stress, pain, hunger, war - a cool place where everyone could live.

My motto in life is 'If you think it, you can do it' and if we all apply that thought we can end hunger the world over.

My self-imposed mandate is to be the voice for the voiceless.

Rural communities in Africa, South Asia and Latin America are where the majority of hungry people are and the inequality that exists between women and men in these communities is holding back progress.

Rural communities in Africa, South Asia and Latin America are where the majority of hungry people are and the inequality that exists between women and men in these communities is holding back progress. These women have a very tough time, so much is expected of them.

The music for me is paradise. I think it's where God lives.

The problem with fame is you no longer belong to you. You lose your persona and become the object of other people's obsession. I feel watched 90% of the time, but that is something I drew with the cards that I drew.

We are all here to be a service to those who can't be a service to themselves. We can give people hope and more reasons for being human.

If I have one thing on in a week, I find it very difficult to get back to work that week. I need a lot of dreaming time.

I had seen 'Do the Right Thing' when I was at college, and it was incredibly inspiring as a piece of cinema. Just brilliant, I thought. But saw 'Malcolm X' with a crowded audience. It was my first time in an American cinema, hearing an audience respond. You know, in England, everyone is so restrained.

I want to be an example of a guy who made something of himself out of nothing. A guy who overcame the odds of a tough childhood, who worked hard, who didn't let his surroundings get the best of him and lead him to jail or the graveyard. Where I ended up - being a comedian, a TV star, and a movie actor - might be unique, but my story is not.

There's no limit to what free men and free women in a free market with free enterprise can accomplish when people are free to follow their dream.

Honestly, to tell you the truth, being trapped in any video game sounds like a living nightmare to me. In most video games, the point is it's a fight for survival, so I think it would be a terrifying place to live.

From a little spark may burst a flame.

The only thing I feel passionate about is my wife.

Fate or some mysterious force can put the finger on you or me for no good reason at all.

All art is at once surface and symbol. Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril. Those who read the symbol do so at their peril. It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors. Diversity of opinion about a work of art shows that the work is new, complex and vital.

The search for religion is the starting point of thought.

Pretend your dream to be a realistic entity that belongs to you but exists somewhere in cyber space. Then find a reasoning logic and scientific solution to make the dream a reality.

People always tell me I'm the complete opposite of Chief Keef and act like I'm supposed to stop him from making his music. But I like Chief Keef, so it's always super awkward. I just make music I like.

Mankind's feeling of responsibility to create a decent life and make it worth living with dignity has always been stronger than the will to kill life.
