Brandy Norwood

I cried, I was so overwhelmed to meet Michael Jackson.

It's her first grandchild, so she's really, really, really excited. I guess my mom is a little more stressed out than me.

You do not send me to Brooklyn to get a cheesecake and then I come back and you're gone.

Well, I actually wrote her a letter a couple of days ago congratulating her. The tone I tried to convey in the letter is, look, you are a part of a great American historical process.

As a young child my attention span was, as I remember it, rather short.

The weird thing about grief, for me at least, was when each of my parents died, for a year or two afterwards I was pretty wildly brave - just willing to take life on.
