Everything I see, I now see through a mother's eyes.
— Jennifer Hudson
I accept any challenge.
I don't get a chance to be home much.
My mother was a very wise and strong person.
Long before 'American Idol', people used to call me a diva. And I be like, 'Hold on, are you calling me something else on the sly? You gonna call me a diva, call me a good diva.'
My grandmother always taught me, 'If you don't have a home, family, and church, you don't have anything.'
I used to sing in the church choir. People would say it was unusual for such a small girl to have such a big voice. They would say, 'She sounds like she's grown.'
I want to be around for a long time, singing and making albums and movies.
Traditional values are big in my life.
