Ashanti Quotes:
"I'm the same old girl from high school.''

"I think it's very important once people meet you and they see in real life, yeah, you're a real person, you're normal just like them.''

"To me it doesn't make sense to change who you are as a person because you got a little bit of fame.''

"It's definitely an honor to just be recognized for such a prestigious award and I'm just so happy to be here with all my people who have been supporting me." (when receiving the awards at the 8th Annual Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards)
