I'm human, you're human. So they said, but inside we're all animals.

I 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.

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

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 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.

I know I always say my occupation is not dancing, but dancing is in my heart, dancing makes me feel good.
