I came from a crew, and to me, all the guys I rapped with were better than me, so I was surprised when I was the breakout one. It was definitely a cool thing.

I love riding, even if it's just my Vespa. You just zip and do your thing. I find there's a different awareness when I ride it connects me to my senses and to God.
Queen Latifah
There are a lot of people who helped make Queen Latifah who she is today. I don't forget, but a lot of people do and get big heads. My mom will make me walk the dogs or take out the trash when I go home. I'm not allowed to get a big head I've still got to do the simple things in life.
Queen Latifah
I'm not the type that's going to sit and preach to people if they don't need it just because I've been around the block a few times.
Queen Latifah
I enjoy just being me. I don't need to be Queen Latifah, the brand, 24 hours a day.

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.

I'd say, if you want to be an artist, start with your art start with making great music and it will, hopefully, eventually cut through all of the nonsense that is out there.
Queen Latifah
Life's not about sitting at home in front of the TV waiting for your life to begin. Get out there and take some chances.
Queen Latifah
I always loved all kinds of music. I would watch musicals a lot as a kid, on TV, watch the Fred Astaire movies. I'd watch 'The Wizard of Oz.' I was a big Jerry Lewis fan, and they'd have these big bands and someone singing - some siren, or some guy singing some gorgeous song. I was always enamored of that style of music.

I don’t want to be a supermodel I want to be a role model.
Queen Latifah
You have to allow your mind to create and then if you want to censor something and bring it down or point it in a different direction, then you can do it.
Queen Latifah
Sometimes I pray when I really feel like I need God to help me with something, and sometimes we just have conversations. We just kick it.
Queen Latifah
I really don't know how to be anyone else, and whenever I try to be anyone else, I fail miserably. Or I disappoint myself. It doesn't build my self-esteem, and it doesn't help me grow me at all.
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
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
It's great to be able to employ people who other people wouldn't consider viable employees.

Look at people for an example, but then make sure to do things your way. Surround yourself with positive people.
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
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.

Be bold, be brave enough to be your true self.
