• My mother taught me the principles of hard work, setting my own goals and visualizing my future. From my early days with Destiny's Child, I understood I had to be focused and dedicated if I wanted true success. We were taught we needed a plan and the discipline to execute that plan to the fullest. I strongly believe if you work hard, whatever you want, it will come to you. I know that's easier said than done but keep trying.

• I have a luck cat in my arms,
  it spins threads of luck.
  Luck cat, luck cat,
  make for me three things:
  make for me a golden ring,
  to tell me that I am lucky;
  make for me a mirror
  to tell me that I am beautiful;
  make for me a fan
  to waft away my cumbersome thoughts.
  Luck cat, luck cat,
  spin for me some news of my future!

• The world is changing, but I am not changing with it. There is no e-reader or Kindle in my future. My philosophy is simple: Certain things are perfect the way they are. The sky, the Pacific Ocean, procreation and the Goldberg Variations all fit this bill, and so do books. Books are sublimely visceral, emotionally evocative objects that constitute a perfect delivery systemBooks that we can touch; books that we can smell; books that we can depend on. Books that make us believe, for however short a time, that we shall all live happily ever after.
