Whitney Houston is my idol and my mentor and my dream forever, like she will always be my favorite artist, ever, on the planet. Like I don't think I'll ever feel that way about another artist.

I knew I had to make a sacrifice to do what I've always wanted to do.
— Brandy Norwood
All I could think about was, 'I just wanna blow him away. I wanna make him proud, because I really wanna sign with Timbaland and spend the rest of my career making music with Tim.'

The idea of kids helping other kids is such a great way to introduce children to being involved in charitable causes and volunteer work, setting them on the path to doing good for others throughout their lives.
— Brandy Norwood
I don't know where to find a good guy. I just think that they're around and I think you have to be good and at some point you'll attract that. I really believe that. First, people should stop looking. The looking thing does not work. Just let love find you.
— Brandy Norwood
The more natural, the better.

Your children can be around you all day, but if you don't spend quality time with them and you don't pay attention to them and talk to them and listen to them, it doesn't matter that they're just around you.
— Brandy Norwood
I definitely felt like I needed a break, because when you do so much, you're not able to appreciate the things that you accomplish.
— Brandy Norwood
I'm not an R&B singer, I'm a singer. I can sing any music that makes me feel inspired whether it's Country, a little bit of Rock and roll but within my roots as well. I'm not going too far with it, but it'll be within my roots. I feel like trying a different way to express my music because so many people have already taken from what I've done in the past and it kind of makes me not want to ever do anything that I've done before.
— Brandy Norwood
It feels amazing to be back on set. It feels like home, even though the territory is a little bit unfamiliar because it's a new show, it's a new character, but once you get in the groove and you start to settle in and trust the moment, you start to really feel at home.
— Brandy Norwood
I think creativity becomes really beautiful and magical when you allow it to do what it's needing you to do.
— Brandy Norwood
I love music. That's my first love. I'm actually going to start working on that full-time very soon, but I love acting as well. It satisfies a different part of who I am. I love to pretend, to imagine, try new things, work with different people, and just see how far I can go.
— Brandy Norwood
Music is infinite and personal. I don't want to put myself in a box. I want to try everything and I'm trying everything. I'm really trying to write what's in my heart and what I feel without a lot of help in that department. It's about being brave.
— Brandy Norwood
I'm very proud of myself because I have come so close to just giving up and I haven't done that.
— Brandy Norwood
My daughter is in love with Adele. She listens to her every day. To see someone with that much passion and soul move a 9-year-old is amazing and it's magical.
— Brandy Norwood
I needed to explore my talent and versatility and see if I had another side to me, another sound.
— Brandy Norwood
I feel there's so much purpose that's left in me to share with people and I'm just ready to use my gift in the right way because I know I have a gift and it's unique and different than anybody else's. I'm supposed to do something with it and I'm happy that I know that now.
— Brandy Norwood
When you fall in love, you wanna share it with people but you know there are some things that you need to keep to yourself, 'cause privacy makes things last longer, I feel.
— Brandy Norwood
When you get a chance to step back, you notice all these great things you've done and all these great people that you've worked with.
— Brandy Norwood
Just staying true to yourself and staying true to your passion. Following your gut.
— Brandy Norwood
When you don't know your values or who you are or you start to believe things other people are telling you, you get lost. I was just lost because I didn't know what I meant to music or what music meant to me. Now I just belong solo and I belong by myself.
— Brandy Norwood
It's easy to just give everything up, but it takes a lot of strength and a lot of willpower to just make yourself stay on it and get up and do something different. And I had to do that.
— Brandy Norwood
That's the beautiful part about acting - you get to play somebody other than yourself. So, I'm open to people who can't sing, people who can, people that sing a little bit, or people that sing a lot.
— Brandy Norwood
There's a lot of people out there who go through hard times, and they feel alone. They feel like nobody is there. But I'm in the same boat.
— Brandy Norwood
It's VH1, it's everywhere, and you know music is just the world right now. People love music.
— Brandy Norwood
I feel like I needed a balance. I don't want to forget about my personal life and spending time with myself.
— Brandy Norwood
It feels so great to be back on the scene.
— Brandy Norwood
Mom would kill me if I showed my navel.
— Brandy Norwood
Nothing can stop me from loving my brother.
— Brandy Norwood
The hardest part has been maintaining a small head and remaining down to earth. So many people try to make you more than you are.
— Brandy Norwood
So when you get a chance to look at things and chill and relax, it makes you want it more, and that's why I'm so happy to be back!
— Brandy Norwood
To be on this set today, I feel very blessed for the second chance and for the opportunity, my record company believing in me and everybody here just showing me so much love and support.
— Brandy Norwood
I'm going to let people know that it's cool to have a child and be young and still be a good mom. It's really tough, but I'm doing it.
— Brandy Norwood
My daughter, I can't give up because she's watching and she's here and she's waiting for me to be an example. So, between her, myself, and my will, and me pushing myself, that's my inspiration.
— Brandy Norwood
In my life right now, in my music, and just overall I feel like I'm winning. It doesn't matter what this person is saying or what the charts are saying or what award shows are saying, the public opinion doesn't matter. I feel like I'm winning in my spirit.
— Brandy Norwood
I don't get into the favorite songs thing, because so many speak to different parts of my life, but the music in the '90s is just unbeatable.
— Brandy Norwood
The extra opinions and the extra praise is just a bonus, it's not the main thing. The main thing is how I feel about myself. And I feel really good about myself.
— Brandy Norwood
Stay true to yourself because it goes a long way. If you don't know who you are, who are you really?
— Brandy Norwood
I've had to come through a lot and I've made a lot of different mistakes, but I realized that I never gave up. I wanted to so badly.
— Brandy Norwood
I'm my biggest inspiration. And I say this in the most humble way. I've been through so much, just in my life.
