TAMAR BRAXTON

I'm not bleaching my skin, and if I was bleaching my skin and I felt like saying so, I would, but for the record, I am not.

Sometimes you want things so bad you will kind of lower your standards, and I've learned that once you do that, it's really hard to go back, to get people to respect you and respect your craft.

Anybody with skin issues knows that that's a very sensitive subject, and that's why I've never shared that I have vitiligo because I do.

You can find love when you are famous if you are the same person you were before you were famous.

There are two sides to being pregnant. There is the beautiful, wonderful blessing side. The second side - it sucks!

I never want my kids to feel like I'm just some housewife who was just kicking it with my husband, because that's not the kind of woman that I am.

I do wear weaves and I do wear wigs.

I like the Kardashians, but I do keep them on the top of my prayer list.

It's actually very beautiful when you can't conceive on your own, you can actually go to the doctors and with science you can create a child.

A lot of people don't get second chances.

Everything is real on me.

I haven't always been vocal about my feelings, especially in a relationship.

I've tried singing like somebody else, and it never worked for me. The only thing that has ever worked for me was me being me, so either you love it or not.

I'm the youngest of five girls, and I don't know about you, but it's really hard to be heard when you have five women. I've always been this loud and over the top as a person because I just want to be heard.

I've always been a person who's been true to myself and true to others, and I'm not afraid to be honest.

I never had plastic surgery. I had a nose procedure done because I had to. I had no cartilage in my nose; I have a piece of cartilage from my ear put into my nose. I had a medical procedure done. I have no plastic in my nose.

If you want to blow up hang around me because all of my friends we would hang out and next thing I know they are major worldwide superstars.

I may be the baby of the family, but that doesn't mean I don't get to boss people around.

Beauty is everything and beauty is within, however, if you don't feel good on the outside, then you will not look good.

I don't think a baby will change my career because I don't plan to go about my career any differently. I'm gonna work hard because I love to work, and I love what I do. I think a baby will just add more happiness to it.

Sometimes I identify myself as 25 and I dare someone to tell me different!

The only person that can give up on you is yourself. People will always say no but you gotta keep trying. As long as you are above the ground there's opportunity. Utilize your time and be serious about your craft. Don't forget to PRACTICE! Be serious about your goals. Understand you have to be talented. Don't seek the impossible be realistic!

Nobody paved the way for me, Jesus paved the way for me.

I am not Captain Save-A-Ho; I can only save one at a time, and that's me!

I was so unsuccessful for so long. I was used to the word no. I was used to you're not good enough or not quite there or you need to fix this about you. So I am honestly walking in faith every single day that I am going to be able to handle whatever God has for me. I am not used to being in a place where people appreciate my work and understand my work and want to be a part of my work and getting something out of my work because for so long it was so misunderstood. The success part for me is the hardest part and everyday I'm still battling.
