Today, there are three kinds of people: the have’s, the have-not’s, and the have-not-paid-for-what-they-have’s.

If you think nobody cares if you’re alive, try missing a couple of car payments.

There has never been a merging of two lives where significant problems of daily living did not occur. One way or another, your relationship is going to be affected. The only question is how. There’s a big difference between knowing and doing. It’s not what happens between partners that determines the outcome of a relationship, it’s how they handle what happens. If all you deal with in your relationship is problems, then you will have a problem relationship. If you want your pound of flesh with full acknowledgement that you’re right, your future will be dim.

When we think of friends, and call their faces out of the shadows, and their voices out of the echoes that faint along the corridors of memory, and do it without knowing why save that we love to do it, we content ourselves that that friendship is a Reality, and not a Fancy-that it is builded upon a rock, and not upon the sands that dissolve away with the ebbing tides and carry their monuments with them.

One day it just hit me. This is it. You are not in love. So either stay in it because you have a child or be brave and find the man of your dreams and marry him for real.

When you get married, your loyalty, first and foremost, is to your spouse, and to the family that you create together.

Kiss me, and you will see how important I am.

Do not just look at your boyfriend as just a boyfriend. Look at him as a friend, too.

We walked to meet each other up at the time of our love and then we have been irresistibly drifting in different directions, and there’s no altering that.

Breaking up is a natural evolution when you try to figure out what you want in life. If you’re with an individual who isn’t moving in the same direction and at the same rate that you are, it ain’t going to work.

I do not believe in mixing of the races. You can quote me. I don’t believe in it, and I never have. I’ve never changed. I’ve never changed my hair. I’ve never changed my color, I have always been proud of myself, and my fans are proud of me for remaining the way I’ve always been. I married a white man one time, but he was a creep.

There’s a big difference between falling in love and being in love. There’s a big difference between infatuation and falling in love.

I married the first man I ever kissed. When I tell this to my children, they just about throw up.

True friends stab you in the front.

Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh.

I’ve always said, ‘If you need Viagra, you’re probably with the wrong girl.

If I was your wife Sir, I’d poison you! Madam, if you were my wife, I’d let you!
