Brandy Norwood

I’m a little bit afraid to give my heart away right now. It’s very scary. I’m open to it, but I just want to make sure that I’m taking my time.

I wanna sing about something that’s sexy and edgy.

All my favorite stars, my family and my friends are here. I’m having the happiest birthday that an 18-year-old girl could ever have.

I’m always smiling and happy.

I take conscious breaks for myself ’cause I like to rejuvenate and get my creative juices flowing. I also like to take my time with my creativity; I think it’s important.

I needed to explore my talent and versatility and see if I had another side to me, another sound.

A sibling represents a person’s past, present, and future.

Having a sister is like having a best friend you can’t get rid of. You know whatever you do, they’ll still be there.

People say: “Oh yeah, jobs for the boys”. I wish. You’ve got to fight even harder with a family like mine.

All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

[On his mother] She certainly ran her own race… I thought my mother was nuts.

I believed in raising my children as I had been raised.

There’s a reason why people who’ve had bad relationships with their parents listen to angry stuff.

They say that no matter how old you become, when you are with your siblings, you revert back to childhood.

I have not been a good father, but no father has loved his children more. Like my father, I decided the best thing I could do for my kids was work and provide. Fortunately, I’ve been able to do that. Unfortunately, my work was on the road, and that’s meant a life of one-nighters.

I learned in those eight years is that home is where you make it, and we were in the White House for eight years, but it wasn’t the house. It was us in it. It was our value and our love for each other.

I learned more from my mother than from all the art historians and curators who have informed me about technical aspects of art history and art appreciation over the years.

She does have a very nice figure… If [Ivanka] weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.

Every day, people serve their neighbors and our nation in many different ways, from helping a child learn and easing the loneliness of those without a family to defending our freedom overseas. It is in this spirit of dedication to others and to our country that I believe service should be broadly and deeply encouraged.

How do people make it through life without a sister?

Now that the baby is coming, I will do a lot more balancing. I’m going to be a real mommy.
