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.

More quotes by 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
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
As a teenager, I had big breasts for my age, and my friends cracked on me a lot.
Queen Latifah
Anyone who knows me knows that I'm way more of a joker than I am a serious person.
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'm thinking wanting to succeed is something in my DNA I'm not like 'I've got to succeed,' I just don't think about that... I see a silver lining in everything and I see a lesson in everything.
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
The more you push the budgets up, the more you make records cost $20, the more you make records last 4 and 5 minutes on the radio.
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
There are two things I wear. One is a Curvation undergarment over my whole body, and then maybe I'll also put on some Spanx. They're so great. They have a way of smoothing everything out, and then you can just put on whatever you want. It accents you and makes you feel pretty.
Queen Latifah
So often, you don't get that opportunity. You only go over everything once and, the next thing you know, you're on set.
Queen Latifah
Those curveballs are always coming-eventually, you learn to hit some of them.
Queen Latifah
You just have to connect with people who believe in your vision and who will work with you and advance your cause.
Queen Latifah
I support many organizations that I feel are doing the right thing, like Alonzo Mourning's foundation, Alicia Keys' foundation, the Make-a-Wish Foundation, and other well-established foundations. I kick out a lot of time and money wherever I can.
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 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
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
How many crossroads are you allowed to have in life? I seem to have a lot of crossroads. I think maybe I crossed back across the same road too often.
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
To step into acting was not that difficult a transition to make. What was difficult was the work and the practice that went into becoming good at it, because I hadn't had any training.
