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.

More quotes by Queen Latifah
It was a very vulnerable time going from being insecure about my body and who I am to becoming comfortable with me. I had to tune out what the hell everybody else had to say about who I was. When I was able to do that, I felt free.
Queen Latifah
You have to stand for what you believe in and sometimes you have to stand alone.
Queen Latifah
It's great to be able to employ people who other people wouldn't consider viable employees.

I have great family and friends that do not treat me like Queen Latifah. We've all grown with this thing, they have sacrificed part of there anonymity they've had to deal with rumors and things in the paper and they've had to take this ride along with me and they've taken it and we've had a good time.

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.

Yeah, I'm from Jersey it's almost like I was automatically born a Nets fan.
Queen Latifah
I know people who are twice as creative as I am, twice as smart, but they didn't do anything because they feared going into a room and opening their mouths. My parents told me to truly accomplish things in my life, there would be times I would have to stand alone. It may be scary, but that's what it requires.
Queen Latifah
You just have to connect with people who believe in your vision and who will work with you and advance your cause.

Two records put me over the top with hip-hop. One of them was 'Planet Rock,' and the other had no lyrics - it was called 'Numbers,' from a group called Kraftwerk. Every kid in the 'hood in New York and New Jersey was popping, locking, and breaking to that record. It was the hottest track on the street at the time.

When you're rapping, you do have to perform to a certain degree, but not every rapper is necessarily a gifted actor.
Queen Latifah
If my brother and I wanted money in our pockets, we had to get jobs - my first was at 15, at Burger King.
Queen Latifah
I enjoy just being me. I don't need to be Queen Latifah, the brand, 24 hours a day.

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
There are so many things I'd like to do. Like becoming a parent. To me that is the next natural progression in life.

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
I wish every woman would love herself and embrace what she was given naturally.
Queen Latifah
I'm a sucker for a man who cries. It just gets to me.
Queen Latifah
I never wanted to give up my power. I wanted to be able to make my own decisions, so that's why I became involved in management, bottom line.

The movie I've seen a million times is 'Steel Magnolias,' directed by Herbert Ross, starring Sally Field and Julia Roberts.

There was always music in our home. My mom and my dad loved music. I remember when we were kids we would have these great parties at the house with congas and bongos and African drums, and it was amazing. It wasn't until years later that I found out that they were actually Black Panther meetings.
