I like Pirate's Booty. Prunes and olives, too. I love hummus. I can eat that until I die. I tend to eat mostly organic food.

My house borders horse farms, and I can look out my window and see the horses and the new colts. It's really peaceful.

I think as far as the music industry is concerned, it's kind of been the wild, wild West in a way with the Internet, which is not necessarily a bad thing to me.

Putting on your crown is really like accepting the fact that you are a queen. You're a great woman. Wherever you are in life, just keep on that path, and so for me, sometimes as women, we forget - we forget that about ourselves. So, putting on your crown is sort of reminding yourself that, hey, I'm a queen, and I can do what I want in this life and take it.

I often go to bed in my birthday suit. But I like teddies and cute little undies that match. I like a sexy bra and panty set, or little shorts.

When I was growing up, there were so many musicals you could watch. I like the fantasy of musicals and I love music.

Hip-hop definitely taught me a lot. Having to create your own identity and become known and respected in a male-dominated field - it requires some guts. There are times you have to be strong, and times when you have to stand alone for what you believe in.
Queen Latifah -
Sometimes when I am in a situation that I have never been in, I kind of pull back a little bit to observe things; it doesn't really last long though I have to. I've resigned to myself to the fact that I have to be me.

I was taught from a young age that many people would treat me as a second-class citizen because I was African-American and because I was female.
Queen Latifah -
I don't feel like I need to share my personal life, and I don't care if people think I'm gay or not. Assume whatever you want. You do it anyway.
Queen Latifah -
I've never wanted to be put into a box, not musically.
Queen Latifah -
The objectification of females is not a good thing! Not every rapper does this, but when the lyrics focus solely on the strip club, 'poppin' bottles' and how many girls they can 'tap,' it distorts what kids are learning. I think if there was more of a female presence in hip hop we could break up the monotony. It's all about balance.
Queen Latifah -
I do feel like I have a direct connection with God for some reason; always have since I was a little kid - I would talk to God, talk to the sky.
Queen Latifah -
To wanna be me is to go through not just the good but the bad. You wanna share my story identically? Man, you gonna take some lumps.

There's the part of my life that the public and I share together. And there's the part that's mine to keep for myself. And that's mine. For me.

I did Jay Leno with Mike the Situation, and he just - he lives, like, ten minutes from me in Jersey. He's like, 'If you ever get a flat, call me. I'll come fix your tire.' That's how we do. That's neighborly, you know?
Queen Latifah -
Look at people for an example, but then make sure to do things your way. Surround yourself with positive people.
Queen Latifah -
Fear can be good when you're walking past an alley at night or when you need to check the locks on your doors before you go to bed, but it's not good when you have a goal and you're fearful of obstacles. We often get trapped by our fears, but anyone who has had success has failed before.
Queen Latifah -
I totally want, like, 18 babies.
Queen Latifah -
I don't eat bad food. I probably just eat too much food, and I think a lot of people do.

Let your inner queen's voice come through loud and clear. Be strong, be authentic, be you, and you'll do her proud.
Queen Latifah -
I clean up really well. I can get dolled up.
Queen Latifah -
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.
Queen Latifah -
I'm not allowed to get a big head, I've still got to do the simple things in life.
