Food is meant to be used as fuel for our bodies. If you’re using it for any other reasons, take a step back and ask yourself, ‘What’s up.’
Jennifer Hudson
I try to do everything to say, ‘OK, will my mother like this? Will she be pleased? Will she be proud of that? How do I know she’s happy and she’s smiling down at me from heaven?’ And that’s what I try to go by and walk by.

I’m just not a shoe girl.

When people said Africa would change me, I didn’t understand what they meant. To see the poverty in the townships, for instance, is overwhelming. I found it heart-wrenching to see young children walking barefoot and hungry in the dirt. I’m the kind of person who wants to change the world right here and now, so I got frustrated.
Jennifer Hudson
I always say, you never know how much your parents loved you until you have a child to love.

Long before ‘American Idol’, people used to call me a diva. And I be like, ‘Hold on, are you calling me something else on the sly? You gonna call me a diva, call me a good diva.’
Jennifer Hudson
I accept any challenge.

My mother was a very wise and strong person.

All the ladies can feel sexy and have fun in my clothing and that makes me feel like I am offering something truly unique to the people who have been gracious enough to show me such love and support over the years.
Jennifer Hudson
I’m really not sure what people think or expect me to be, but I am surprised when people say, ‘You’re not supposed to be like that… ‘ I’m not exactly sure what ‘that’ is, so I choose to take it as a compliment.
Jennifer Hudson
When you hear my music and you feel the emotion, it’s real. When you see me in a film and you see a tear, it’s real.

Well, I don’t really eat cereal that much because on Weight Watchers it’s not worth the points.

Music is my home.
Jennifer Hudson
The church has given me balance.
Jennifer Hudson
I like to have songs with me that have substance. That’s missing from a lot of today’s music. You might hear a song with a catchy beat, but what’s it about? It’s not empowering or helping anyone.

Jennifer Hudson
I’m proud to represent the average woman.
Jennifer Hudson
You’re not living if you don’t go out and try things for yourself.
