Got the eye of the tiger, the lion of Judah

I don't compare myself to Lil Kim. I'm not doing anything in comparison with any girls. I'm doing Nicki Minaj.

I get the thumbs up like I'm hailing a yellow cab.

I've gotten tons of awards and I believe when it's my time to get a Grammy, I'll get a Grammy.

You wanna know what scares people? Success. When you don't make moves and when you don't climb up the ladder, everybody loves you because you're not competition.

I fly with the stars in the skies I am no longer trying to survive.

Being honest, if I had a daughter I wouldn't want her listening to a Nicki Minaj CD until she was a certain age. Even when I meet my fans and they tell me they are 12, I cringe a little. I always say, 'Listen. I don't want you saying the bad words, put school first.'
