When you pre­record you're married to that emotion, that delivery. I like the rawness, the honesty of being in the moment. - Jennifer Hudson

I always like to say what men can't conquer, they like to destroy, I've learned, and that's something else that Mama Franklin taught me.

I'm a mother and I have a life that's in my care and someone that looks up to me. That helps me see myself in a whole other light in a different way. It's a whole new world.

...having to experience so much so soon, and then to have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders, that's a lot. I can understand that.
