- I don't think it's good that we're perceived as different I think it's important we're perceived as MUCH BETTER. If being different is essential to doing that, then we have to do that, but if we could be much better without being different, that'd be fine with me. I want to be much better! I don't care about being different, but we'll have to be different in some ways to be much better.

- Jennifer Hudson, I Got This: How I Changed My Ways and Lost What Weighed Me Down, 2012
- There's something fundamental you have to understand about yourself before you can change your life for good.

- When people mean to be good to you, you don't mind very much when they're not quite—always.
