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 LATIFAHA confident woman is a sexy woman, in my opinion. And I think guys find that to be the same way.
QUEEN LATIFAHI 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.
QUEEN LATIFAHI like Pirate’s Booty. Prunes and olives, too. I love hummus. I can eat that until I die. I tend to eat mostly organic food.

QUEEN LATIFAHI’m as involved as I can be. Whenever I’m asked to do something, I always tend to show up.
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 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 LATIFAHThere is nothing like a person with confidence, male or female, not conceitedness, but confidence. That inspires other people.
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 LATIFAHBe bold, be brave enough to be your true self.
