More quotes by Queen Latifah
It's great to be able to employ people who other people wouldn't consider viable employees.
Queen Latifah
For myself music definitely informs my emotions. And I can literally play a song that will get me where I need to be emotionally. I don't have to think about the tragic things that happened in my life or the greatest things that happened in my life.
Queen Latifah
I never wanted to give up my power. I wanted to be able to make my own decisions, so that's why I became involved in management, bottom line.
Queen Latifah
I write pretty often. I have a home studio. Music is what I do for fun. I never get tired of it, so to take a break from [TV and movies], I would go make some music.
Queen Latifah
If you try to follow everyone else's mold, you'll probably fail at some point because God created us uniquely for a reason.
Queen Latifah
I lost relatives to AIDS, a couple of my closest cousins. I lost friends to AIDS, high-school friends who never even made it to their 21st birthdays in the '80s. When it's that close to you, you can't really deny it, and you can't run from it.
Queen Latifah
Dolly Parton made me chicken and dumplings. That Tennessee woman can burn some pots! And we know that I am not necessarily shy to a fork!
Queen Latifah
It's not always easy to do the right thing. But, doing the right thing makes you strong, it builds character.
Queen Latifah
I made decisions that I regret, and I took them as learning experiences... I'm human, not perfect, like anybody else.
Queen Latifah
I have always felt strongly about empowering women. I'm living proof that, with confidence and by believing in yourself, you can accomplish any goal.
Queen Latifah
Those curveballs are always coming-eventually, you learn to hit some of them.
Queen Latifah
I enjoy going to work and having a good time. It's tough when you got to work with people who just are in a bad mood all the damn time.
Queen Latifah
I've loved car racing all my life. I watch NASCAR regularly, and drag racing because we have Raceway Park in New Jersey. I think I got it from my father.
Queen Latifah
We ignore our feelings a lot, I realize. Many of us have to... until they really bite us in the butt.
Queen Latifah
I would like - either as an actor, or producer or even director - to do something sci-fi or action-related. I like sci-fi, always have, 'Star Trek' and 'Star Wars' and all that stuff.
Queen Latifah
Two records put me over the top with hip-hop. One of them was 'Planet Rock,' and the other had no lyrics - it was called 'Numbers,' from a group called Kraftwerk. Every kid in the 'hood in New York and New Jersey was popping, locking, and breaking to that record. It was the hottest track on the street at the time.
Queen Latifah
My mom was my main influence growing up, and Phylicia Rashad reminded me a lot of my mother, just the way she handled certain things, she was... not soft-spoken but smooth-spoken. Just very calm, cool, collected about things.
Queen Latifah
[Hiking] is not that crazy, but when you look back and you see that mountain you just climbed, you say, I can't believe I did that.
Queen Latifah
There were musicians that influenced me, but they weren't all women. Teena Marie was a big influence because she wrote and produced her own music, which let me know that women could write and produce their own music, which was an empowering moment for me.
Queen Latifah
There are different flavours of sexiness.
