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.

When I want to push myself and do intense workouts, I do that, but I'm not going to do it because anybody thinks I should look a certain way. It's really more about how I feel and about being healthy.

I've never been the straight rapper that is going to stand in a cipher and battle all day. I started off battle rapping, but to me, making songs became more important than freestyles... I've met many rappers who can freestyle but can't make a record.

I want every day to be life for the living, not just traipsing through it existing. I'm just interested in life and the world and exploring.

We ignore our feelings a lot, I realize. Many of us have to... until they really bite us in the butt.

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.

I made decisions that I regret, and I took them as learning experiences... I'm human, not perfect, like anybody else.

There is nothing like a person with confidence, male or female, not conceitedness, but confidence. That inspires other people.
