Throughout my life, I have always lived with adversity and will continue to have faith and do good for my family, friends and fans.

I'ma make sure the family keep a decent meal, no matter what I got to do or who I got to kill.

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

But 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.

I 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.

I think that a woman should be in love. I think that love makes the sex greater. Or even if you just really, really like that person.

I 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.
