The females don't respect themselves; they only think materialistically. They want money, but they don't think, I'm gonna get this money on my own, they think, I'm gonna get money from this guy.
I'm not living large; I just want to live comfortably. I wanna have financial stability that is unshakable.
You 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.
I never pictured myself as just a rapper; I always wanted to act and do whatever else I could do. I always felt like I could do a lot of different things.
I'd say, if you want to be an artist, start with your art; start with making great music and it will, hopefully, eventually cut through all of the nonsense that is out there.
I want every day to be life for the living, not just traipsing through it existing. I'm just interested in life and the world and exploring.
I totally want, like, 18 babies.
I want to see 10 female rappers getting regular rotation. It can't be all about a man's opinion.
I've never wanted to be put into a box, not musically.
I don't have to really be in the 60s. Every time I hail a cab in New York, and they pass me by and pick up the white person, then I get a dose of it. Or when they don't want to take you to Harlem. I grew up with that.
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 don’t want to be a supermodel; I want to be a role model.
Bob Johnson had the vision to create a network for us when nobody else was.
I would say I'm voluptuous. Statuesque. Definitely curvaceous.
