|---|---|
| 1 | I don’t want to be a supermodel. I want to be a role model. |
| 2 | If my brother and I wanted money in our pockets, we had to get jobs – my first was at Burger King. |
| 3 | 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. |
| 4 | [on being considered a role model] There’s no way I can represent for everyone. I can’t represent for all women or all big women or all black women. It’s important for people not to make celebrities their source of who they should be in life. I can’t take on the pressure of being perfect. Nobody is. |
| 5 | [on moving from singing to acting] My mom taught me to never put all my eggs in one basket. I figured if I wasn’t the best rapper, then I shouldn’t completely rely on rap. |
| 6 | Dreams become reality when we put our minds to it. |
| 7 | It was a very vulnerable time going from being insecure about my body and who I am to becoming comfortable with me. I had to tune out what the hell everybody else had to say about who I was. When I was able to do that, I felt free. |
| 8 | There are times you can’t really see or even feel how sweet life can be. Hopefully its mountains will be higher than its valleys are deep. I know things that are broken can be fixed. Take the punch if you have to, hit the canvas and then get up again. Life is worth it. |
| 9 | I am not one to turn down macaroni and cheese, even late at night. I love Italian food. I love pasta…A refrigerator full of water and Gatorade? Honey, that’s just not gonna happen. -Woman’s World, 6-13-06 issue |
| 10 | “I wish every woman would love herself and embrace what she was given naturally.” quoted in WOMAN’S WORLD (6-7-05) |
| 11 | I’d like to have and adopt [children]. I think I’d be a great mom, honestly. I don’t think I’ll have any problem giving them all the love in the world. Discipline will be the hard part. |
| 12 | 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. |
| 13 | I’m pretty much the same but trying to be better every day. I don’t think the success has gone to my head. I don’t think I’m alienating friends or losing friends. |
| 14 | I think it’s important to create projects as an actor rather than wait for them. I love being able to take an idea and sell it to a studio. |
