QUEEN LATIFAHLiving for today will bring about dying for today. You can’t just think, ‘I’m going to die anyway,’ because that’s what’s stopping us from moving forward.
QUEEN LATIFAHYou just have to connect with people who believe in your vision and who will work with you and advance your cause.
QUEEN LATIFAHI never really took any acting classes. I’m just a natural ham, I guess.
QUEEN LATIFAHAlways follow your own path.
QUEEN LATIFAHAnyone who knows me knows that I’m way more of a joker than I am a serious person.

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 have always felt strongly about empowering women. I’m living proof that, with confidence and by believing in yourself, you can accomplish any goal.
QUEEN LATIFAHSometimes I pray when I really feel like I need God to help me with something, and sometimes we just have conversations. We just kick it.
QUEEN LATIFAHEvery woman is a queen, and we all have different things to offer.
QUEEN LATIFAHThere are so many things I’d like to do. Like becoming a parent. To me that is the next natural progression in life.
QUEEN LATIFAHI’m not living large; I just want to live comfortably. I wanna have financial stability that is unshakable.
QUEEN LATIFAHBeauty is not just a white girl. It’s so many different flavors and shades.
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.
