Quotes

@Getty

“I drink, yes. To be drunken, I know that’s a sin. But I’m not doing this every day. I’m not doing this back to back.”

”When I don’t give myself too much credit, I know God is taking care of the situation. It’s not me. I’m just glad to be a willing vessel.”

“It [alcohol] consumed every part of me. I didn’t realize I was drinking Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. I was drinking a lot.”

”What I learned quickly after winning Sunday’s Best is that the Awards, Awards Shows, Red Carpet’s none of that define me. I had to take some time to find myself again.”

“You know what I’m tired of though? … I’m tired of being Le’Andria Johnson that y’all know of.”
