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.

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 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.

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.

Be bold, be brave enough to be your true self.

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.

I feel strongly that women who look like me should feel great. So I am not changing.

I'm not allowed to get a big head, I've still got to do the simple things in life.

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
Image
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.

The good thing about movies is that they're subjective. You can connect to different themes depending on your own perspective.

Those curveballs are always coming-eventually, you learn to hit some of them.
Queen Latifah
Image
If you try to follow everyone else's mold, you'll probably fail at some point because God created us uniquely for a reason.

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.

Life is so much bigger, grander, higher, and wider than we allow ourselves to think.
Queen Latifah
Image
I'm as involved as I can be. Whenever I'm asked to do something, I always tend to show up.
Queen Latifah
Image
I didn't know I had it in me. There's more to all of us than we realize. Life is so much bigger, grander, higher, and wider than we allow ourselves to think. We're capable of so much more than we allow ourselves to believe.

Yeah, I'm from Jersey it's almost like I was automatically born a Nets fan.

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.

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.

As a teenager, I had big breasts for my age, and my friends cracked on me a lot.
