More quotes by 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 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 like Pirate's Booty. Prunes and olives, too. I love hummus. I can eat that until I die. I tend to eat mostly organic food.
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
I definitely think we need to lean more on God. And I do think we need to praise, because we need to give it outward. You know, whenever you think you're in tough circumstances, there's always somebody who's in a worse position than you.
Queen Latifah
My mom has always been my champion. She was very smart and grounded. She said, 'Save your money. Pay your taxes. Don't put everything in one basket,' but she let me explore and be creative.
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 wish every woman would love herself and embrace what she was given naturally.
Queen Latifah
There are times you can't really see or even feel how sweet life can be. Hopefully its mountains will be higher than its valleys are deep. I know things that are broken can be fixed. Take the punch if you have to, hit the canvas and then get up again. Life is worth it.
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'm a sucker for a man who cries. It just gets to me.
Queen Latifah
I decided early on that I was going to put on my crown and rule my world by acting right and treating myself like a queen.
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
Yeah, I'm from Jersey it's almost like I was automatically born a Nets fan.
Queen Latifah
Those curveballs are always coming-eventually, you learn to hit some of them.
Queen Latifah
I lost my brother when I was 22. He was only 24. I was always the kind of person to live on the edge, but after that, it made me feel like I could really die. It can really happen. Before then, I never thought it could happen to me or my family.
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
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'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
As a teenager, I had big breasts for my age, and my friends cracked on me a lot.
Queen Latifah
