Tameka Cottle quotes:

Don't just be in the business and have fun 'cause you're a kid. You've gotta learn; this is your livelihood.

Family's always first. God and family, and I go from there.

I'm always giving out advice. People always come to me for that.

Some days I'll be like, "You know what? Why don't I go to my daughter's studio and make a song?!" And then I don't! I don't know if I would have all the time it takes to put into a song.

They would send me notes on what's going on, and we would pitch in and talk about what we wanted to talk about on the show. I just really did my homework. It was more like a real job for me. Doing this talk show was like, "Wow, this is what they do?!" I can't even imagine doing it every day.

When you get a man, you have to nurture him. Treat him like a king. If you put that little work in in the beginning, it pays off.
