We're Not Exposed To A Lot Of

My Mom Is One Of Those People That You Feel Honored To Meet. And No Matter Who You Are, You Fall In Love With Her Because She Is Spiritual, She's Inspiring, She's Strong, She's Funny, She's Creative, She's Talented... She's Everything That I Want To Be.

I Remember Being In Japan When Destiny's Child Put Out 'independent Women,' And Women There Were Saying How Proud They Were To Have Their Own Jobs, Their Own Independent Thinking, Their Own Goals. It Made Me Feel So Good, And I Realized That One Of My Responsibilities Was To Inspire Women In A Deeper Way.

I Am Really Proud That I Am One Of The Artists That Has The Opportunity To Be On Magazine Covers And To Be In The Movies.

So I'm Very Happy If My Words Can Ever Inspire Or Empower Someone Who Considers Themselves An Oppressed Minority. We Are All The Same And We All Want The Same Things: The Right To Be Happy, To Be Just Who We Want To Be And To Love Who We Want To Love.

I Know You Want Me Back. It's Time To Face The Facts. That I'm The One That's Got Away. Lord Knows That It Would Take Another Place, Another Time, Another World, Another Life. Thank God I Found The Good In Goodbye.
