If you can draw something from my life that helps, more power to you.

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. My mom will make me walk the dogs or take out the trash when I go home. I'm not allowed to get a big head; I've still got to do the simple things in life.

I'm proud of everything I do, but I think I'm the most happy about becoming a rapper. It was my entrance into everything. That helped me get into acting.

I'm thinking wanting to succeed is something in my DNA; I'm not like 'I've got to succeed,' I just don't think about that... I see a silver lining in everything and I see a lesson in everything.

I wish every woman would love herself and embrace what she was given naturally.

If you can draw something from my life that helps, more power to you.

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