I believe that children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they possess inside.

I'm not crazy about arenas just because I can sell them out. It doesn't do anything for my ego at all. I want to play places where people don't have to sit in the nosebleed seats and wonder what the hell is going on.
Whitney Houston

I've turned down a lot of arena dates because I've done the big-arena thing. Now, I want to do something where people can feel me and I can feel them.

My mother taught me that when you stand in the truth and someone tells a lie about you, don't fight it.

Nobody likes to be picked on. Nobody.
