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 LATIFAHI 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 LATIFAHAlways follow your own path.
QUEEN LATIFAHBeauty is not just a white girl. It’s so many different flavors and shades.
QUEEN LATIFAHLife is so much bigger, grander, higher, and wider than we allow ourselves to think.
QUEEN LATIFAHLife’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 LATIFAHWhen I want to push myself and do intense workouts, I do that, but I’m not going to do it because anybody thinks I should look a certain way. It’s really more about how I feel and about being healthy.
QUEEN LATIFAHI am a strong woman with or without this other person, with or without this job, and with or without these tight pants.
QUEEN LATIFAHWhen I was around 18, I looked in the mirror and said, ‘You’re either going to love yourself or hate yourself.’ And I decided to love myself. That changed a lot of things.
QUEEN LATIFAHI made decisions that I regret, and I took them as learning experiences… I’m human, not perfect, like anybody else.
QUEEN LATIFAHEven 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 LATIFAHIf 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 LATIFAHI don’t want to be a supermodel; I want to be a role model.
QUEEN LATIFAHI 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 LATIFAHBusiness 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 LATIFAHI designed my whole image. That was all me. I just bought some regular clothes, threw a medallion around my neck, and that was it. The next thing I know, that’s the look.
QUEEN LATIFAHI write pretty often. I have a home studio. Music is what I do for fun. I never get tired of it, so to take a break from [TV and movies], I would go make some music.
