I accept any challenge.

I like meat on my bones.

I'm just not a shoe girl.

I don't believe in voodoo.

Family makes a house a home.

I cook all my meals at home.

Love is as hard to hide as hate.

The church has given me balance.

God always works through people.

The talent should speak for itself.

I don't believe in overdoing myself.

I don't get a chance to be home much.

Traditional values are big in my life.

I'm proud to represent the average woman.

I'm prouder of my weight loss than my Oscar!

My mother was a very wise and strong person.

When you're shopping you forget about eating!

I slept with my mom until I was 16 years old.

Chocolate is what I love. I have it every day.

I don't do clubs. I don't drink. I don't smoke.

Ye canna give up hope when that is all ye have.

I don't believe in doing things just to do them.

I've always had a love for making things my own.

I have a serious love for clothes, like no other.

There is nothing I love more than my role as a mom.

'American Idol' has changed the face of television.

Everything I see, I now see through a mother's eyes.

Dreams do come true. If anyone's proof of that, it's me.

I feel like I've lived about three or four different lives.

Going jogging makes me feel powerful and free - like Rocky!

My son is very into music and really familiar with my voice.

Indeed, God is always with us even when things look hopeless.

Appearance can always be changed, but the talent stays the same.

You're not living if you don't go out and try things for yourself.

I want to be around for a long time, singing and making albums and movies.

I'm prouder of my weight loss than my Oscar! I hope it has inspired people.

I love being nurturing and caring because I love to see other people happy.

Loving yourself means caring enough to make the hard decisions in your life.

There's no heaven on earth. God would have to guide her through the problems.

Anyone can lose a few pounds, but not everyone has the tools to stick with it.

I didn't start singing with my eyes open until I was 19 - that's how shy I was!

You can’t make a life-altering decision for someone else and expect it to stick.

I hope that when I'm 80 years old, people will still be talking about my wedding.

Sometimes God makes better choices for us than we could have ever made for ourselves.
