If I ran into a 19-year-old version of myself, I’d just tell her to live, full out. I might also tell her to go ahead and have a few babies and not worry about the timing of it.

QUEEN LATIFAHLife’s not about sitting at home in front of the TV waiting for your life to begin. Get out there and take some chances.
QUEEN LATIFAHI feel anger and I feel understanding. It’s a difficult position to be in.
QUEEN LATIFAHI think it’s important to raise your kids, start ’em early. Teaching them the values and morals, so when they get out there on their own, you know they have it. They just have to remember to use it, but they have it.
QUEEN LATIFAHThere are different flavours of sexiness.
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 LATIFAHYou have to allow your mind to create and then if you want to censor something and bring it down or point it in a different direction, then you can do it.
QUEEN LATIFAHYou have to stand for what you believe in and sometimes you have to stand alone.
QUEEN LATIFAHAnyone who knows me knows that I’m way more of a joker than I am a serious person.
QUEEN LATIFAHBe bold, be brave enough to be your true self.
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 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 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 LATIFAHI try to only commit myself to things that I think I can accomplish and commit myself to 100 percent. I try not to bite off more than I can chew.
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 LATIFAHYou just have to connect with people who believe in your vision and who will work with you and advance your cause.
