I don't like the fact that there are so few women in rap.

Change is not an event, its a process.

There were times in my career I went a little further than I wanted because of expectations. Doing certain things onstage when children were in the audience, wearing certain clothes, singing certain lyrics.

For me, the bulimia was about stuffing my emotions. So I stopped suppressing my feelings.

The best form of flattery is to be admired, imitated or respected. I've always felt proud our fans look up to us or feel we are inspirational.

Our attitude is that we want to cross over. You can't go on making records just for your own hometown.

I'm really open to doing music. We just have to figure out what kind of music it's going to be - something where I don't feel compromised.
