Brandy Norwood

I have so much to talk about. I have so much to share. There are so many different emotions going on inside of me right now.

I’ve just got to get that album out. I have to get it out, if it’s the last thing I do.

I don’t know how I feel right now.

When you get a chance to step back, you notice all these great things you’ve done and all these great people that you’ve worked with.

I certainly didn’t want to date. I was through with guys.

It feels so great to be back on the scene.

As a child I was the best tree climber in our neighbourhood, I was like a little monkey. I’ve never been afraid of hurting myself or a little physical discomfort.

In my experience, there was never anything quite like the egos in CSNY.

I don’t have a sound bite for everything.

I think for women especially, you need to have a plan. I need to have some other ways to generate income, so I don’t have to stretch my face or lift the top of my head with surgery or something.

I get more people approaching me about how good I was in ‘Napoleon Dynamite’ than being in Coldplay.

I think it’s the way I talk. I think they thought I was too country. And I’m not ashamed of that by any means.

Besides, I’m a gypsy at heart and I like to travel around.

I think I appear very innocent and soft, but I’m actually very dark and edgy. It’s a weird dichotomy.

There are different audiences out there, and everyone has different tastes of what they want. And it’s a good thing because otherwise, there wouldn’t be enough stuff to go around.

I’m married, you know. I love my husband and I have a child.

There is nothing wrong with a woman welcoming all men’s advances as long as they are in cash.

[on filming Red Eye] I loved the action sequences, running though an airport in heels and all that stuff. That was really fun.

As Ralph’s character begins to discover the political thriller aspect of the film, he falls deeper in love with his wife, so the two run together. That’s the beauty of this film. It has fast pace and excitement, but it also has heart and soul.

Americans have always had sex symbols. It’a time-honored tradition and I’m flattered to have been one. But it’s hard to have a long, fruitful career once you’ve been stereotyped that way. That’s why I’m proud to say I’ve endured.

I’m the lady next door when I’m not on stage.
