Two records put me over the top with hip-hop. One of them was 'Planet Rock,' and the other had no lyrics - it was called 'Numbers,' from a group called Kraftwerk. Every kid in the 'hood in New York and New Jersey was popping, locking, and breaking to that record. It was the hottest track on the street at the time.

Most people don't have so much talent that they can become a success all their own. We all need people to help us and lift us up.

You just have to connect with people who believe in your vision and who will work with you and advance your cause.

I decided early on that I was going to put on my crown and rule my world by acting right and treating myself like a queen.

To me, hip hop will never be right until female rappers have a stronger voice in it.

If you're prematurely born or if you have things happening when you're like a baby being born. If you have to learn how to walk right or if there's something wrong with your gait or just physical things that are happening. Illnesses affect your family and they impact you because you want to do the best you can to help your family member become more healthy.

There are so many things I'd like to do. Like becoming a parent. To me that is the next natural progression in life.
