On the occasion of her birthday, HerStory brings you inspirational quotes by the singer and actor that will empower and inspire you.
“My mother taught me that when you stand in the truth and someone tells a lie about you, don't fight it.”
“When you’re feeling full of doubt and fear has got you in a bind, love will save the day.”
“I believe that children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they possess inside.”
“Judge not for your flaws, but for your Triumphs!”
“I wish you joy and happiness. But above all this, I wish you love.”
“My mother taught me beauty really lives in places like a smile.”
“You get that love from the people. It lets me know that all the madness I go through, all the stuff that the business has to offer with all its madness; it makes it worthwhile.”
“Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be.”
“There can be miracles when you believe.”
“What’s in your soul is in your soul.”
“To learn your artistry and to be able to perfect that, is overwhelming. Especially when you are exuding love. The human emotion is a very delicate thing, so you have to be careful about how you present it because it can be kind of scary, or too overwhelming if you’re not careful. So I try to just keep it love.”
“Sometimes you’ll laugh; Sometimes you’ll cry; Life never tells us the when’s or why’s.”
