I'm a Gucci girl all the way.

People who can make you laugh can make you cry.

I'm not a perfect mom, but I'm perfect for my kids.

I've known for quite a while that I was a funny girl.

I was always funny, but I didn't know being funny was a gift.

Falling in love was the easy part; planning a wedding - yikes!

I don't need to do a reality show to make my mark in this world.

I didn’t get into this business for other people to know my name.

The adage 'a family that prays together, stays together' is so true.

I feel like it's better to see a sermon lived than it is to hear one preached.

When you like what you like, it makes it easy for your husband to shop for you!

I would like to think that television would be representative of the world we live in.

I don't wear my faith on my sleeve, but I definitely do walk with it every day in my heart.

I feel like love is the thing we were created for, yet it's the place we struggle the most.

I didn't marry a man that wanted to be in the business. But that's why we're a perfect fit.

I have more energy to run after our four children. Weight loss and great skin were a bonus!

We are bred to compare ourselves to the next person, to what they have and what they have accomplished.

In one day, I got mistaken for three different actresses: Wendy Williams, Sherri Shepherd, and Star Jones.

People recognize me from everything and as soon as I think I know where they know me from, I'm always wrong.

No family should have to endure the loss of a loved one at the hands of a previously convicted violent criminal.

The truth is black celebrities are not as sought after in the press as white celebrities, and that is comforting.

If there is someone in your life who is not serving you or making you better, give yourself permission to move on.

The most valuable insight on choosing whom to love is to be honest with yourself about the man standing before you.

No one's playing records anymore, so find your favorite and frame it, then get rid of the rest - try selling or donating them.

I have an extra set of eyelashes because you never know. I could cry or laugh, or it could be windy, and I'll need a standby pair.

I joined church by myself in a borrowed suit at 13. I had my neighbor's bible. So my walk and my faith have always been very real.

Reality does get a bad rap. But I'm not concerned about it 'cause I know who I am. They can edit it, but you are in charge of what you do.

If you make your best friend and your significant other the same person, you don't have to disconnect to go tell your girlfriend everything.

I do not have a bride gene. I haven't been planning a wedding since I was 3. I never put a sheet on my head and pretended that it was a veil.

I don't have a desire to do reality. Because my truth is not what people are responding to. My truth is funny; I laugh with my husband every day.

Let me tell you, if I could pick the project of all projects, it would probably be Kate Gosselin because if I can help Kate find a man? I can help anybody!

I've been married, divorced; I've been the baby momma, the side piece and the secret... all of these things. I share it in an effort to make people better.

The old adage is true, people will only be as good to you as you are to yourself. They will follow your example, and those who don't will be left by the wayside.

I didn't start out about weight loss. I was very tired and my energy was low. This is my second go-around in love, so I want to make sure I'll be around to enjoy it.

I don't want to be Carrie Bradshaw. I don't want the wedding to be bigger than Big. I'm just grateful to know that the first time I fell in love wasn't the last time.

One of the greatest gifts that God has given us is free will. Even though it's free, we don't take advantage of it as much as we could when it comes to matters of the heart.

I'm a work in progress. You know, my kids didn't come with instructions... and neither did this business, so when I put the two of them together, I gotta take it a little at a time.

There's nothing wrong with having a collection, but it becomes a problem when it overwhelms your space. When you're not displaying it properly, you're not enjoying it and it turns into clutter.

As women, we often think we have to be all things to all people, all at the same time. As a wife, mother, actress and businesswoman, I definitely feel the pressure to perform well in all areas.

Even after I got my divorce, the ink wasn't even dry on the paper, and I said, 'Ooh, the next time I become a wife, I got this thing down pat!' I always believed that there was someone built for me.

I don't claim to be an expert on love. I'm just a woman who has experienced a lot of things, and I want to share and hopefully my sharing will help make your situation better, because that's the goal.

I say God is kind. So many people want to do what I do [comedy] for a living, and so he didn't have to choose me. So I don't take all the credit, but I do know that I love what I do, and I see it as a gift.

I was in a very fancy, high-end boutique where the sales associates stand around like mannequins. I walked in and the first thing they said was, "Ooh it smells like booty in here" because they knew me from Scream Queens.

Although my marriage left me with three beautiful children, it also left me with a healthy dose of self-doubt, low self-esteem, and an extreme desire to be loved again. I was operating on empty, expecting to be paid in full.

I recently finished a job, an HBO movie 'Getting On,' a very dark comedy. It comes from a British series of the same name. In this role I have no hair, no make up and no nails. I play a very small role; she is not over the top and sassy.

When I got married in 1991, I had never been to a wedding, so I didn't know that my wedding was tacky. I didn't know that I was getting married in a quinceanera dress, because there was nobody there to cry over me and tell me I look like a fool.

Don't go telling yourself you're in love with the man he could be; you gotta love the man standing in front of you right now. Simply put, love the person not the potential! Otherwise, he will always be disappointing to you. And whose fault is that?

My house is full of antics, mayhem, foolishness, carrying on, cutting up, shucking and jiving, and I have that whether cameras are there or not. Our youngest just had us up with her shenanigans and hijinks all night. So, it's all the time, even off camera.

There's a lot of women out there, some of whom are my age who've never been married and some who have been married and would like to be married again but think their ship has sailed, and I'm like, 'Oh no, honey, let Miss Niecy show you it is never too late for love!'

There are a lot of actors who don't like reality stars 'cause they feel these people aren't accomplished. They haven't done this or that, but they are savvy. They have found a way to make it work. I could dissect your career all day long, but I'm focused on my own career.
