More quotes by Queen Latifah
Roxanne Shanté was kind of the first female to really come out and get respected by dudes, because she went at dudes real hard and battled them and freestyled a lot, and really came off the head a lot.
Queen Latifah
There is no profession more essential than that of an educator, and it's time for all of us to embrace and celebrate their importance and contribution to America's children.
Queen Latifah
Hip-hop definitely taught me a lot. Having to create your own identity and become known and respected in a male-dominated field - it requires some guts. There are times you have to be strong, and times when you have to stand alone for what you believe in.
Queen Latifah
To me, I always felt like I was carrying a torch for women of any size to be themselves - it doesn't matter whether you're a size 2 or a 22, just be who you are.
Queen Latifah
Look at people for an example, but then make sure to do things your way. Surround yourself with positive people.
Queen Latifah
Life is so much bigger, grander, higher, and wider than we allow ourselves to think.
Queen Latifah
Don't you want to know what's real and what's not? I remember when I was a kid, you know, this whole Cold War thing. They had us scared of the Russians. So, it's almost like, what's real and what's not?
Queen Latifah
When I was growing up, there were so many musicals you could watch. I like the fantasy of musicals and I love music.
Queen Latifah
I don’t want to be a supermodel I want to be a role model.
Queen Latifah
For me, it might sound cliche, but beauty for me really does start on the inside. It's like a state of mind, a state of love if you will. Then, whatever you can do on the outside is all like a bonus.
Queen Latifah
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.
Queen Latifah
Fear can be good when you're walking past an alley at night or when you need to check the locks on your doors before you go to bed, but it's not good when you have a goal and you're fearful of obstacles. We often get trapped by our fears, but anyone who has had success has failed before.
Queen Latifah
I enjoy just being me. I don't need to be Queen Latifah, the brand, 24 hours a day.
Queen Latifah
I'm a sucker for a man who cries. It just gets to me.
Queen Latifah
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.
Queen Latifah
I've been giving back since I was a teen, handing out turkeys at Thanksgiving and handing out toys at toys drives for Christmas. It's very important to give back as a youth. It's as simple as helping an old lady across the street or giving up your seat on the bus for someone who is pregnant.
Queen Latifah
I often go to bed in my birthday suit. But I like teddies and cute little undies that match. I like a sexy bra and panty set, or little shorts.
Queen Latifah
I don't have any regrets. If I could have talked to my 19- or 20-year-old self, I would have said, 'You're going to be fine. It ain't that serious!'
Queen Latifah
I love music. I've just been putting studios together, here and at my house in New Jersey and so I can always make music and express my ideas and work with people to fine tune them to where they need to be.
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.
