I am not one to turn down macaroni and cheese, even late at night. I love Italian food. I love pasta... A refrigerator full of water and Gatorade? Honey, that's just not gonna happen.

I promised my mom that if, after a year of putting 150 percent into my career it didn't work out, I would go back to school. I never did go back.

There are a lot of people who helped make Queen Latifah who she is today. I don't forget, but a lot of people do and get big heads.

If I ran into a 19-year-old version of myself, I'd just tell her to live, full out. I might also tell her to go ahead and have a few babies and not worry about the timing of it.

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

The good thing about movies is that they're subjective. You can connect to different themes depending on your own perspective.

I'm as involved as I can be. Whenever I'm asked to do something, I always tend to show up.
