Black women are the strongest most hardworking people on earth.

The only two things that scare me are God and the IRS.

I’d rather deal with Tipper than Bush. He’s trying to kill everybody in jail.

When I’m lovin’ these hoes, there ain’t no love involved.

Name a sexual disease, she got it like Sam Goody.

It ain’t that I’m too big to listen to the rumors, It’s just that I’m too damn big to pay attention to ’em.

Try to be the king, but the ace is back.

The record business. It’s exactly what it is-Record-Busin ess. You have to take care of both, or they won’t take care of you.

I’ve gone seventy-nine hours without sleep, creating. When that flow is going, it’s almost like a high. You don’t want it to stop. You don’t want to go to sleep for fear of missing something.

Fight every chance you can to be you. Don’t let them intimidate you. Authenticity is greatness.
