We need prisons because there are some hardcore criminals, but I never met a guy who has been in jail that came out with a smile on his face thinking, 'Right, that's it - now I am going to be good!'

I would love to do a good gritty drama, a romantic role. I tend to play bad guys for some reason.

I'm now more about romantic beauty. The dominatrix thing is over. You never look as good in person as you do in 'Maxim,' but it's fun. It's all like a fantasy.

I was a very religious child - I went to synagogue at least once, sometimes twice, a day. And I remember my religiousness as good - I think religion is good for children, especially educated children, because it allows for imagination, a whole imaginative world apart from the practical world.

As a scientist, I don't believe science will ever discover whether God exists. Nor do I believe religion will ever prove it.

My father and I had a really good relationship. We're cool. I am not trying to outdo him or anything like that.

The relationship with my people, the Nigerian people, is very good. My relationship with the rulers has always been problematic.

Music has the power to make me feel good like nothing else does. It gives me some peace for a while. Takes me back to who I really am.

I'm not after fame and success and fortune and power. It's mostly that I want to have a good job and have good friends; that's the good stuff in life.

I have nothing to lose and think that it's a positive thing that I am young and playing on a good level.

There is something good in all seeming failures. You are not to see that now. Time will reveal it. Be patient.

Above all, remember that God looks for solid virtues in us, such as patience, humility, obedience, abnegation of your own will - that is, the good will to serve Him and our neighbor in Him. His providence allows us other devotions only insofar as He sees that they are useful to us.

The test of good manners is to be patient with the bad ones.

Good character is not formed in a week or a month. It is created little by little, day by day. Protracted and patient effort is needed to develop good character.

It is a good rule in life never to apologize. The right sort of people do not want apologies, and the wrong sort take a mean advantage of them.

I did the best I could, and in some arenas, my best was not good enough. I've made some bad choices.

The problem with having a sense of humor is often that people you use it on aren't in a very good mood.

I'm a good girl because I really believe in love, integrity, and respect. I'm a bad girl because I like to tease.

I use a computer. I don't know if that qualifies me as a techie, but I'm pretty good on the computer.

Even though gospel music is going into a different area and arena from just being gospel to being inspirational, entertainment, if you will, I think that we still need to make sure that we keep our message crystal clear. Because the gospel is good news, and if we're not sharing good news, we're not doing what we're supposed to do as gospel artists.
