- Jasmine Guy: (about her greatest life goal) I really just want my little girl to grow into a happy, wonderful woman. However, I can do that whether it's by guiding her or staying out of her way when I need to - that's the most important thing to me right now.

- Jasmine Guy: No matter what you do in life, you have to be able to read.

- Jasmine Guy: (asked about her greatest acting experience) The first thing that comes to mind is a little movie I did for CBS that's called Stomping at the Savoy. Debbie Allen directed it. Beverly Sawyer wrote it. And I just loved the time, the genre, that old '30s and '40s period. But I really loved my character, and her relationship with her husband. I thought that it closely resembled how I really feel about things and life.
