Queen Latifah

“I have to be realistic about what I can and can't do. So whatever I do has to really be worth it. I like to master the things I do.”

“I feel like every woman is a queen, and we should be treated as such, and we should, you know, sort of request that sort of treatment from others.”

“When my body feels good, I feel more energized and alive, and that's sexy. I'm taking care of this body God gave me.”

“I often find it's just the confidence that makes you sexy, not what your body looks like. It's how you feel about yourself that makes you sexy.”

“You do silly things for love sometimes and not-so-smart things for love.”

“I am a strong woman with or without this other person, with or without this job, and with or without these tight pants.”

“Look at people for an example, but then make sure to do things your way. Surround yourself with positive people.”

“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, I always felt like I was carrying a torch for women of any size to be themselves - it doesn't matter whether you're a size 2 or a 22, just be who you are.”

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

“I would say I'm voluptuous. Statuesque. Definitely curvaceous.”
