Jennifer Hudson's quotes

  • I don't do clubs. I don't drink. I don't smoke.
  • I have a serious shopping problem now. Each city we go to, my suitcase won't hold the new clothes, so we have to box them up and ship them home.
  • Growing up, when we would get gym shoes, my brother and sister would get the name brands. But I said, "I don't need a name brand. With me wearing it, it makes it special by itself.".
  • I sometimes think the only constant is my voice. That hasn't gone away.
