The more I expect, the more unhappy I am going to be. The more I accept, the more serene I am.

I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence I can reach for; perfection is God's business.

Vanity's really overrated. When I was 20, teenage girls had my picture on the wall... I don't need to be pretty anymore. I just am who I am.

I can't always control my body the way I want to, and I can't control when I feel good or when I don't. I can control how clear my mind is. And I can control how willing I am to step up if somebody needs me.

I am going to marry Fantasia. She just doesn't know it yet.

I made it to Oxford, but it is not that I am particularly clever, much more that I am a worker bee.
