I think women should band together to get us more respect in all the businesses that we're in because, you know, if we turn 40, we're nothing and nobody. We all should band together and just say we're not gonna go down like that.

People in my neighborhood inspired me to sing. Believe in your ability no matter what, but be realistic with yourself and your ability.

The streets respect me because I kept it real with me. You gotta be real with yourself, and the streets recognize game.

Cause I'm no better than you, you, or you. And I can't get on no throne and preach, 'cause I'm not God.

If you're here right now in your life, your journey continues and you've lived to tell the story.

I'm a child of God. God is my mommy, my daddy. That's the only thing that'll keep my head up. If I don't remember who I am in him, I'm done.

That's the message I want to give to every up-and-coming artist: Do everything that is going to help you later. If you clone somebody else, that's all they're gonna keep wanting from you.
