Ten years of being on TV, I'd never taken a sick day.
Radio is not a high-paying job; I just enjoyed being on the radio.
My first diet was in the first grade! Tuna fish and mustard with yogurt on the side.
Well, unlike a lot of authors, I will be the one to cop to having a ghostwriter. I've always written with someone else.
If you pay close attention, you'll notice we continually hear about basically the same 150 celebrities.
What I think, a lot of people think. They're just too afraid to say it.
Weight was a big thing for me to overcome.
I love dresses best because I enjoy being a woman.
I'm not gonna fight my body anymore. I've lost the weight; I feel fantastic.
It's not how you fall down or how low you go in life, but if you can get yourself up and set an example for even one person, then you've done your job.
The reason that it's so easy to go out there and be me - warts and all, critics and everything - is because my family and my career are the only two things that really matter in the big circle of life.
Family and personal life always come first and career second.
My weight was a huge issue as a young person. For my mother, for my father, and for my siblings... nobody in my family is overweight. And here I come.
I didn't have the easiest childhood. I was never the popular girl in school growing up. I was always the lone black girl or the lone fat girl or the long tall girl, so that has made me more compassionate to all people. It also gave me the drive and ambition to go after my dreams in a big way.
I don't want to be the crazy showbiz family. When I walk into the PTA meetings with my sensible flat shoes and my sensible short wig, I do not look crazy.
The responsibility that I ultimately feel to the audience is to entertain, maybe enlighten, and help you take your mind off messy things.
I'm not overconfident. It's just that I'm not caught up in that. What will be will be. The die is cast. I can't be anybody but me.
The more celebrities I meet, the more disappointed I get in celebrity culture.
I think that mental illness is something that is so real.
I can't change my skin. I won't change my voice. I can't change my confidence.
