I 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.

When you're dealing with people in an industry that's all about making money, they push you farther than you really wanna go.

I'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' Kim is my stage name and a character I use when I'm out working my livelihood.
