Music is my home. — Jennifer Hudson

My son is very into music and really familiar with my voice. — 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. — 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

There is nothing I love more than my role as a mom. — Jennifer Hudson

Love is as hard to hide as hate. — Jennifer Hudson

I have a serious love for clothes, like no other. — Jennifer Hudson

I love being nurturing and caring because I love to see other people happy. — Jennifer Hudson

I always say, you never know how much your parents loved you until you have a child to love. — Jennifer Hudson

Chocolate is what I love. I have it every day. — Jennifer Hudson

I think to each its own, if nobody is hurting anybody–who cares? Everyone should be able to do what they want and be happy. Who you love is who you love. That’s the way I see it — Jennifer Hudson

I’ve always had a love for making things my own. — Jennifer Hudson

I once had a crush on one of my teachers. I wrote him a love letter and stuck it in a bag in his office. I didn’t write my name on it, but I’m sure he figured out it was me. — Jennifer Hudson

God always works through people. — Jennifer Hudson

No matter how big the glam squad, or how dramatic the dress, sometimes things just don’t work out. — Jennifer Hudson

You cannot just work out and then eat poorly and expect to lose weight. It doesn’t work that way. — Jennifer Hudson

Extreme exercise doesn’t save you from poor food choices. It can be difficult to exercise and erase away that chocolate cake or pizza pie. It doesn’t work that way. — Jennifer Hudson

Dreams do come true. If anyone’s proof of that, it’s me. — Jennifer Hudson

Traditional values are big in my life. — Jennifer Hudson

Loving yourself means caring enough to make the hard decisions in your life. — Jennifer Hudson

I feel like I’ve lived about three or four different lives. — Jennifer Hudson

If it’s meant for me, it will be.’ Those words are my mantra in life, and it has never let me down. — Jennifer Hudson

Embrace it. Especially because of the lives we live, a lot of times other people have to care for [our kids] and you have to have that mommy time, Get your sleep! — Jennifer Hudson

It’s not a diet, it’s a way of life that teaches you better skills. For years, I felt like I could never have ice cream, but now I can eat ice cream occasionally! — Jennifer Hudson

You can’t make a life–altering decision for someone else and expect it to stick. — Jennifer Hudson

You’re not living if you don’t go out and try things for yourself. — Jennifer Hudson

There’s something wonderful about entertaining people on vacation. Everyone is there to have a good time. — Jennifer Hudson

I’m prouder of my weight loss than my Oscar! — Jennifer Hudson

When someone wants to lose weight, they will do whatever it takes. They can’t do it for anyone else but themselves. It has to be for them alone. Without that understanding, they will fail. — Jennifer Hudson

It’s one thing to lose weight, but it’s another thing to eat healthy. — Jennifer Hudson

You have to want weight–loss success so badly that no mountain, river, or ocean could keep you from reaching your goals. If you have that drive, passion, and commitment, there is no way you won’t get there. — Jennifer Hudson

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

Permanent weight loss doesn’t come with an on and off switch. It is not something you do for a little while and think it is going to change your body. — Jennifer Hudson
