More from Queen Latifah
Living for today will bring about dying for today. You can’t just think, ‘I’m going to die anyway,’ because that’s what’s stopping us from moving forward.
Queen LatifahQueen Latifah 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.
Queen LatifahQueen 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 LatifahQueen Latifah Don’t you want to know what’s real and what’s not? I remember when I was a kid, you know, this whole Cold War thing. They had us scared of the Russians. So, it’s almost like, what’s real and what’s not?
Queen LatifahQueen 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 LatifahQueen Latifah Business is fun. Controlling your own destiny is fun. Creating an idea and turning it into a movie; finding an artist and guiding their career and bringing them to some type of status – there’s joy in that.
Queen LatifahQueen 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 LatifahQueen Latifah When you’re rapping, you do have to perform to a certain degree, but not every rapper is necessarily a gifted actor.
Queen LatifahQueen Latifah If there are kids who want to follow in my footsteps, I’d say that my shoes are too big for them to fill! But their shoe size is just perfect.
Queen LatifahQueen Latifah Even if you don’t have anything, even if you’ve got a quarter in your pocket, to share with someone else who has nothing really helps.
Queen LatifahQueen Latifah I’ve never wanted to be put into a box, not musically.
Queen LatifahQueen Latifah I’m not living large; I just want to live comfortably. I wanna have financial stability that is unshakable.
Queen LatifahQueen Latifah I promised my mom that if, after a year of putting 150 percent into my career it didn’t work out, I would go back to school. I never did go back.
Queen LatifahQueen Latifah Life is so much bigger, grander, higher, and wider than we allow ourselves to think.
Queen LatifahQueen Latifah 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.
Queen LatifahQueen Latifah I’m proud of everything I do, but I think I’m the most happy about becoming a rapper. It was my entrance into everything. That helped me get into acting.
