I am Nicki Minaj, I mack them dudes up Back coupes up & chunk the deuce up

My ice is so cold, it should come on a cone.

Now all the bums is wondering where I be's at -if you ain't a barbie it's none of your freaking beeswax!!!

I happen to be a pessimist, and maybe that's a good thing because I don't stop to smell the roses - which is not a good personal thing. I don't stop and enjoy those moments. Always on to the next and never in the moment.

I feel like when I reach my 500-million-dollar goal, then no other woman in rap will ever feel like they can't do what these men have done

I looked at people like Lil Wayne. I would go to the studio and I would observe Wayne, and I would literally pray. I would say 'God, give me his work ethic'.

I don't agree that everyone should agree with everyone's lifestyle. I think that some people aren't going to agree, but I think that when you're mean and when you ridicule people it's a sign of your own insecurities.
