More quotes by 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.

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
When you're rapping, you do have to perform to a certain degree, but not every rapper is necessarily a gifted actor.
Queen Latifah
It's great to be able to employ people who other people wouldn't consider viable employees.
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
I'm a sucker for a man who cries. It just gets to me.
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.
Queen Latifah
There are so many things I'd like to do. Like becoming a parent. To me that is the next natural progression in life.
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
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.
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 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
Having Black hair is unique in that Black women change up styles a lot. You can walk down one street block in New York City and see 10 different hairstyles that Black women are wearing: straight curls, short cuts, braids - we really run the gamut.
Queen Latifah
Dolly Parton made me chicken and dumplings. That Tennessee woman can burn some pots! And we know that I am not necessarily shy to a fork!
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 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
I have always felt strongly about empowering women. I'm living proof that, with confidence and by believing in yourself, you can accomplish any goal.
Queen Latifah
My mother wouldn't allow me to speak slang when I was growing up. But when I got outside, around my friends, it was 'Yo' and 'That's the joint' and 'Yo, what's up?' So I had my game for my friends and my game for my mom.
Queen Latifah
I'm as involved as I can be. Whenever I'm asked to do something, I always tend to show up.
Queen Latifah
Anyone who knows me knows that I'm way more of a joker than I am a serious person.
