Brandy Norwood

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 don’t know where to find a good guy. I just think that they’re around and I think you have to be good and at some point you’ll attract that. I really believe that. First, people should stop looking. The looking thing does not work. Just let love find you.

You do not send me to Brooklyn to get a cheesecake and then I come back and you’re gone.

I can’t believe Tina Turner actually was on the same stage. I can’t believe I set foot on the same stage, and it’s going to be an album, people are going to buy it, and it’s going to be a video.

My daughter is in love with Adele. She listens to her every day. To see someone with that much passion and soul move a 9-year-old is amazing and it’s magical.

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

Left to my own devices, I dress like I’m here to service your aquarium.

I couldn’t live without my music, man. Or me mum.

The suit-and-tie job is very nice, but it’s not really who I am in my heart.

Gravity is nominated for best film. It’s the story of how George Clooney would rather float away into space and die than spend one more minute with a woman his own age.

If you retain nothing else, always remember the most important rule of beauty, which is: who cares?

Every kid has something they’re good at, that you hope they find and gravitate toward.

The celebrity thing… I don’t want to sound as if I absolutely don’t want it because that’s not true. If you’re in the entertainment business, you have to be honest. There’s something alluring about it…

I feel like I represent normalcy in some way.

These sprint boys weren’t happy with how the sport was being promoted and where it was going, so they asked me if I’d still be interested in helping them, and I am,

[reacting to George Zimmerman’s acquittal] I think it might honestly be time for the Sunshine State to officially change its motto to the Worst State.

I think social media has given everyone a voice. Social media makes everyone a celebrity on some level. I think that diminishes the power of an artist who bases their trade on their talent, that’s one of the downfalls. But the good thing is that you can connect with your fans all the time.

Yes, we are celebrities, but yes, we’re also innovators, we’re also inventors, we’re also thoughtful.

Donald Trump has been saying that he will run for president as a Republican, which is surprising since I just assumed he was running as a joke.

When I was producing on my own, I was doing it in order to – in a very patriarchal entertainment industry, let alone planet – very much hell-bent on trying to prove to myself, if nothing else, that I could do it as a woman.

I literally change my phone number 10 times a year and I don’t ever save my contacts.
