QUEEN LATIFAHLook at people for an example, but then make sure to do things your way. Surround yourself with positive people.
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.
QUEEN LATIFAHI don’t have any regrets. If I could have talked to my 19- or 20-year-old self, I would have said, ‘You’re going to be fine. It ain’t that serious!’

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

QUEEN LATIFAHSo often, you don’t get that opportunity. You only go over everything once and, the next thing you know, you’re on set.
QUEEN LATIFAHLet your inner queen’s voice come through loud and clear. Be strong, be authentic, be you, and you’ll do her proud.
QUEEN LATIFAHThere are different flavours of sexiness.
QUEEN LATIFAHTo me, doing a gay pride show is one of the most fun things. My first show that paid more than $10,000 was in a gay club on New Year’s Eve in San Francisco.
