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.

More quotes by 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
I'm as involved as I can be. Whenever I'm asked to do something, I always tend to show up.
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
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
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
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've never wanted to be put into a box, not musically.
Queen Latifah
I've never been the straight rapper that is going to stand in a cipher and battle all day. I started off battle rapping, but to me, making songs became more important than freestyles... I've met many rappers who can freestyle but can't make a record.

The movie I've seen a million times is 'Steel Magnolias,' directed by Herbert Ross, starring Sally Field and Julia Roberts.
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 never really took any acting classes. I'm just a natural ham, I guess.
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
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
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
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
Yeah, I'm from Jersey it's almost like I was automatically born a Nets fan.

Jumping off that cliff in Jamaica.It was years ago. It was at this place called Rick's Cafe. Actually, it was two cliffs. They were pretty high, probably a good 40- 50-foot jump into the ocean. That was crazy.
Queen Latifah
Life is so much bigger, grander, higher, and wider than we allow ourselves to think.
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 came from a crew, and to me, all the guys I rapped with were better than me, so I was surprised when I was the breakout one. It was definitely a cool thing.
