I've always believed there is a better place somewhere. I feel like I'm E.T. and I'm just passing through.

I was the overweight kid who didn't have a boyfriend. I listened to other people say, 'You're ugly, you're fat, you're stupid,' and I believed it.

I was a single mother, and my boys were babies. I sold my body for food, money, and Pampers.

Being Prince's sister might get me in the door, but it is my own talent that keeps me on the stage.

I'm telling you, God loves a lot of people.

All Christians should be able to articulate reasons why they believe what they believe - not just for the sake of our spiritually confused friends, but also so that we ourselves will have a deeper and more confident faith.

When I started this project, I was a young architect. I was very apprehensive about any changes to the design. Whether I wanted to or not, I learned that you can accept some changes to its form without compromising its intent. But it's a leap of faith that I didn't want to make initially - to put it mildly.

I have learned that track doesn't define me. My faith defines me. I'm running because I have been blessed with a gift.
