Vanessa Williams

Well, my mom taught public school music for almost 40 years. And she's about 5 feet - and very mighty. And she would control her kids a lot by giving them the eye, or the stare.

I am lucky to have three daughters who are completely different. I look at my daughters and I have different relationships with all three and there are parts of each personality that are very special.

Success is the sweetest revenge.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.

I'm a huge Dallas Mavs fan. What I love about Dirk Nowitzki is he has just as much talent as everyone else, if not more, and he never toots his own horn. He's this silent warrior.

I am happy to the spokeswoman for this French youth that tomorrow will be spearhead new hope in the shape of the National Front.
