I actually enjoy that I never really needed to be hanging out with every celebrity in Hollywood; I just go home and hang out with my cousins, my best friends. I'm not treated like royalty; they love me to death, but they don't treat me like royalty. So it's easy for me; they'll tell me the truth, whether it hurts or not. And I need that; I've always been given that.

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

Those curveballs are always coming-eventually, you learn to hit some of them.

I was not born a size 2. I'm not skinny, period. I'm not willing to sleep with the director or step on somebody else's neck to get the job.

I think it's important to raise your kids, start 'em early. Teaching them the values and morals, so when they get out there on their own, you know they have it. They just have to remember to use it, but they have it.

My mom will make me walk the dogs or take out the trash when I go home.

It's not always easy to do the right thing. But, doing the right thing makes you strong, it builds character.
