When you're pregnant, you go out and buy every single book; you have this stack of books on your nightstand, but there was nothing that was preparing me for anything even remotely resembling what my life was going to look like.

I talk to God every single day. And I say, 'God, my life is in your hands, and I trust you with me.'

The man you married is yours to have and to hold for the rest of ever, even if he starts chewing tobacco or decides to pierce his hairy nipple and buy a Corvette, because you very plainly said - or at least implied - you were in it for better or for worse.

Every single thing in my life is built around race.

I live my life like an open book, even though it's open on the wrong page.

I live in a landscape, which every single day of my life is enriching.
