QUEEN LATIFAHI made decisions that I regret, and I took them as learning experiences… I’m human, not perfect, like anybody else.
QUEEN LATIFAHYou can’t let fear paralyze you. The worse that can happen is you fail, but guess what: You get up and try again. Feel that pain, get over it, get up, dust yourself off and keep it moving.
QUEEN LATIFAHYou need to give yourself the time to think freely. I don’t know if that is political. But sometimes things are political because you observe things that are right or that are wrong and you want to speak on them.
QUEEN LATIFAHThere is nothing like a person with confidence, male or female, not conceitedness, but confidence. That inspires other people.
QUEEN LATIFAHFor 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 LATIFAHI enjoy just being me. I don’t need to be Queen Latifah, the brand, 24 hours a day.
QUEEN LATIFAHAs a teenager, I had big breasts for my age, and my friends cracked on me a lot.
QUEEN LATIFAHDreams become reality when we put our minds to it.
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.
QUEEN LATIFAHLife is so much bigger, grander, higher, and wider than we allow ourselves to think.
QUEEN LATIFAHYou just have to connect with people who believe in your vision and who will work with you and advance your cause.
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 LATIFAHIt’s not always easy to do the right thing. But, doing the right thing makes you strong, it builds character.
QUEEN LATIFAHTo 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.
QUEEN LATIFAHI 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.
QUEEN LATIFAHI do feel like I have a direct connection with God for some reason; always have since I was a little kid – I would talk to God, talk to the sky.
