I feel naked without earrings. I'll pass out twice. It feels like I'm missing a body part.
Tionne Watkins
Everything happens the way it's supposed to because it's just like cavemen - you evolve and grow and learn.
Great music, timeless music is hard to come by, but there are some that are like that.
I don't care how much money you have in the world. It's not about that. It's all about time.
I got kicked out of four high schools just because people took issue with the colour of my skin. As if I could help the colour I was born.
'Waterfalls' spoke to so many people at a time where people needed to feel like somebody was on their side.
I had an attitude problem when I was a kid. I'm not gonna lie.
Because of my sickle-cell disease, I have a high tolerance for pain.
I think timing is everything.
I want to raise my own baby. I don't want my baby crying for some other strange lady, some nanny. I am not down with that.
At the end of the day, I do think there's a higher power, and the way I feel about things and choose to do things has an effect on that outcome.
If you want to live, you have to face your fears.
The TLC sound! That's what's so awesome - we have our own sound.
Don't sit there and wallow in woe-is-me stuff that happened in your past. Move forward. Face whatever you're afraid of. Or deal with it.
We were always authentic when it came to our style. From when we started to the height of our fame, we've always been consistent in our look because how we dressed was a result of how we felt. We weren't playing dress-up.
I've been through a lot with sickle-cell, but my recovery from the brain tumor was the hardest thing.
A role model can teach you to love and respect yourself.
I never thought black people would say I wasn't black enough. It didn't turn me into a bully - it just put me on the defensive. I had to watch my back. It made me stronger because I learned how to deal with ignorance.
I get a lot of 'Oh, you've been gone.' I wasn't gone. Just because you didn't see me doesn't mean I wasn't working and collecting checks. I just wasn't singing and doing videos. I do a lot of other things, like I said, like writing scripts and stuff like that. I write for other artists.
TLC never broke up. We are sisters for life.
I had to learn a lot about myself during the situation with my brain tumor.
I don't care about Donald Trump. I mean, God is my president. So I just feel sorry for people it affects, but I don't care about him.
I'm in charge of raising a young woman one day, to be a mother and hopefully a wife.
I've traveled the world in one of the best groups ever. I'm 42.
I want to live. I didn't have time to die.
I guess I have to prove myself all over again, even if it's to the world. I don't have a problem doing that.
I would like to confirm that Perri Reid was the only person who ever suggested that Chilli leave TLC.
TLC always looked up to male bands. We saw guy groups could just go out and get the fans screaming by just standing there - fully clothed and with nothing but their music... We saw them as the competition more than the girl groups, with whom we wanted to stay unified.
In life, when you lose anyone, there's always an adjustment period - emotionally, mentally and physically.
Miracles happen every day - I'm one!
The record business sucks!
Just because I'm not dancing on a video every five seconds doesn't mean I'm not working.
I remember getting flowers and champagne for being one of the first black artists on MTV. That was a big deal.
Whatever your hustle is, go somewhere with it.
When you Google someone's name, it matters to me what shows up. Not the lies, but like, did you change lives? Did you do something while you were here?
Good music is good music.
I have to thank God for bringing me through and allowing me to continue to do charitable work for other sick children suffering with sickle cell.
Some people criticize me for always wearing different variations of bobs, but bobs never go out of style.
The doctors told me I could never have kids, but God blessed me anyway.
I've worked in the studio with a lot of young girls, and they'll go, 'Oh, the label is telling me to take off my clothes, and I don't feel comfortable.' Well if you don't feel comfortable, don't do it.
It's amazing what miracles and little angels and pure love around you can bring out.
I get nervous as hell when it's time for the songs to come out.
I'm hoping that somehow with songs like 'American Gold' there will be some kind of justice, and people just stop being so close-minded to where they're like, 'Oh, it's not race.' It's easy to say that when you're not black and you haven't experienced it.
I was told I wouldn't live past 30 or have children.
Music is my heart.
I grew up around guys and got along with them better.
I'm not homophobic; I'm just not gay.
I'm open. All of my situations have made me who I am.
I'm not ashamed of anything I've done, because if I feel ashamed, I'm not going to do it in the first place.
At the end of the day we feel the same; we all hurt.
