“Let your inner queen’s voice come through loud and clear. Be strong, be authentic, be you, and you’ll do her proud.”

When you’re rapping, you do have to perform to a certain degree, but not every rapper is necessarily a gifted actor.

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.

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.

I’ve never wanted to be put into a box, not musically.

I’m not living large; I just want to live comfortably. I wanna have financial stability that is unshakable.

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.

Life is so much bigger, grander, higher, and wider than we allow ourselves to think.

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.

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.

You have to stand for what you believe in and sometimes you have to stand alone.

If I ran into a 19-year-old version of myself, I’d just tell her to live, full out. I might also tell her to go ahead and have a few babies and not worry about the timing of it.

I never really took any acting classes. I’m just a natural ham, I guess.

Always follow your own path.

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.

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.

To wanna be me is to go through not just the good but the bad. You wanna share my story identically? Man, you gonna take some lumps.

Truth is that which makes a people certain, clear, and strong.

Make it so good and so clear that it doesn’t need any further explanation.

The vision is so much clearer when you wipe down the mirror.

White balloons floating away. Expel the energy wasters, they just prey. Move from the clutter, the haze. Clear pearlescent white from the grey.

In the very shadows of doubt a thread of reason (so to speak) begins, by whose guidance we shall escape to the clearest light.

Those things which I am saying now may be obscure, yet they will be made clearer in their proper place.

Its a part of adulting when you start to see each human too clearly and then there is no going back.

It’s clear there’s a lot of room for improvement, there’s no inherent ceiling we’re hitting up on.
