I do not have too much sex. I hardly have any sex, O.K.? A lot of people get the wrong perception of me.
Lil' KimAll my life, men have told me I wasn't pretty enough - even the men I was dating. And I'd be like, 'Well, why are you with me, then?' It's always been men putting me down just like my dad. To this day when someone says I'm cute, I can't see it. I don't see it no matter what anybody says.
Lil' KimI want all my friends, family and fans to know that I am in good spirits and I will be fine.
Lil' KimI think women should always be respected. I'm not going to stand on the corner with a picket sign, but I'm going to support my ladies all the way. But I also understand the views of men as well.
Lil' KimI have low self-esteem and I always have. Guys always cheated on me with women who were European-looking. You know, the long-hair type. Really beautiful women that left me thinking, 'How I can I compete with that?' Being a regular black girl wasn't good enough.
Lil' KimI still don't think I'm really a beautiful person, but I know that I can be beautiful inside.
Lil' KimI love to reinvent myself, and that's because I am a very free person. I do what I feel, and I love who I am.
Lil' KimIt was a very emotional dinner... Everyone shared personal stories about her and gave her words of encouragement and inspiration. Everyone tried to remain positive.
Lil' KimThere are a lot of women out there who are doing crazy things behind closed doors sexual-wise and are afraid to admit it.
Lil' KimThere are some people who still don't understand. But I know by the end of my fulfillment they will.
Lil' KimI am honored and quite proud that a class is being taught on my sensationalist lyrics, unique style and fashion and leadership role within the hip-hop community.
Lil' KimI ain't acting when I'm on stage. That's why all the little love bugs who'll come and see me at Lovebox love me. They know it's the real me.
Lil' KimThroughout my life, I have always lived with adversity and will continue to have faith and do good for my family, friends and fans.
Lil' KimI know I always say my occupation is not dancing, but dancing is in my heart, dancing makes me feel good.
Lil' KimWhen you're dealing with people in an industry that's all about making money, they push you farther than you really wanna go.
Lil' KimYou can't really just make someone into something and it works all the time; that person has to be a natural.
Lil' KimI really want people to understand that nobody is perfect and that things happen in life beyond our control.
Lil' KimIt's always nice to want money and keep doin' what you gotta do to get it, but do not be greedy.
Lil' KimI'ma make sure the family keep a decent meal, no matter what I got to do or who I got to kill.
Lil' KimBut this is Miami, you can't come to Miami and not show any skin. You gotta show something. If you're all covered up in this heat, you're gonna make me pass out out just to look at you. It's sweaty in Miami - but the diamonds will keep me cool.
Lil' KimI think people have a misconception of me, period. My life has been a whirlwind sometimes, but it's different to what people think. I definitely feel like there's a misconception about me and who I am.
Lil' KimA lot of the stuff that my father told me not to do, I did it anyway and I ended up learning the hard way.
Lil' KimI'm older, and I wish that a lot of things that I did in my life, I didn't do, but I'm able to talk about it.
Lil' KimThe artist I wanna be like is Michael Jackson. I'll get the house with the roller coaster and the rides and a disco, and I'll invite all my friends and just stay at home.
Lil' KimI feel money is power in certain senses. A lot of women out there are just givin' it away. And then there are the women that're selling their bodies. But they chose to do that. But this is how they make their money. And I don't see anything wrong with that.
Lil' KimI love reinventing my music and myself as well, and that's something my fans love about me.
Lil' KimThese devils find a way to get at'cha. All it takes is some green and your face on the screen.
Lil' KimThat's one thing about me: I'm not greedy. I buy things for my friends if I buy them for myself. I make sure my friend's rent is paid.
Lil' KimToday begins a new saga in my life which I expect to strengthen me and allow me time for reflection... I plan to write music while in prison, read and pray regularly and will come out a stronger, more confident woman.
Lil' KimI like to live righteous. And I just want everyone to know I'm not trying to get out of anything.
Lil' KimI think, when you're great, not everyone's going to give you your props, and you can't really worry about that. In my eyes, I'm still climbing. I'm still taking myself to the next levels in my career, and that's fine with me. When it's time for my rewards, I will get them.
Lil' KimI am blessed to have so many great things in my life - family, friends and God. All will be in my thoughts daily.
Lil' KimIn the beginning, yes I did go back... (but) I learned that if it's continued abusive, you just can't stay there. When guys are young, they make mistakes. Nobody's perfect, but, if they do it more than once, then it's definitely a habit
