To me, hip hop will never be right until female rappers have a stronger voice in it.

Look at people for an example, but then make sure to do things your way. Surround yourself with positive people.

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

Life is so much bigger, grander, higher, and wider than we allow ourselves to think.

I decided early on that I was going to put on my crown and rule my world by acting right and treating myself like a queen.

I don’t want to be a supermodel; I want to be a role model.

My mom will make me walk the dogs or take out the trash when I go home.

Every woman is a queen, and we all have different things to offer.

No one ever got ahead by going through the motions. You have to constantly be improving yourself. Make your life the masterpiece you want it to be.

I really don't know how to be anyone else, and whenever I try to be anyone else, I fail miserably. Or I disappoint myself. It doesn't build my self-esteem, and it doesn't help me grow me at all.

When 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.

Whoever said that money didn't buy happiness was a damn fool. A damn fool who'd never been poor.

If you don't have a vision for the future, then your future is threatened to be a repeat of the past.

Be a big person; be generous of spirit; be the person you'd admire.

I hope I just continue to be passionate about the roles and to always endeavor to bring clarity and honesty to the table and different ideas.

Not everyone is there to get an abortion. Your body is like a car that has needs and women's bodies constantly need a level of care that men don't.

When a tree falls it resounds with a thundering crash; and yet a whole forest grows in silence.

America's always had a real passion for lunatic movements. That's one of the things we're probably known for around the world, I would imagine.

After an earthquake in Los Angeles - The earth in LA moved more in one hour than Benoit Benjamin did all last season with the Clippers.

The virtue of losing is we get used to the fact that competing and to lose doesn't kill you. It just makes you stronger. It just helps you get used to it.

Public postures have the configuration of private derangement.
