Women are undeniably the most beautiful creatures.Collection: Women
The only person I'm in competition with is myself. That's to be a better, and bigger me every single day.
Every day is about growing and evolving, and each day I just take it one day at a time and embrace it as it comes.
I'm trying to pave a way for everybody that wants to follow in my footsteps.
People say I give too much credit to people but it's not about that. It's about being real. And being real is giving props when it's due. You can't be hating or mad when you see people doing their thing. I love it. If you mad then you not doing something right.
I'm just a confident woman.
I am the baddest chick, I am that person.
That's what makes you who you are, being true to yourself.
I'm a savage. I'm hungry. I'm a beast.
If I chose to live a bisexual life or I'm gay or whatever, that's my business.
Make sure you're on my level if you think you wanna go toe-to-toe with me 'cause you cannot. Let's make that very clear.
Sagittarius are very controlling. The thing about Sagittarius is this: we're planned, we're precise. We're like, 'If you do this and then you do this, you'll end up being this.' There's always a plan to follow. I'm not a follower, I'm a leader. I'm already five steps ahead of you so I think we're the smartest sign of the horoscope.
Miami is one of the cities you could party all night to the next day.
Miami's like a semi-Vegas.
I came into the game under the guys,' she recalled. 'There was Trick Daddy and Rick Ross. I came in thinking like a guy. I came in tough like a guy. I came in just ready like a guy.
Women are emotional. They have their ways, their ups, their downs.
Guys are usually the tougher, make-it-happen no-matter-what kind of thing.
I'm a lover, I love love.
I've been in the game so long and I've been around a bunch of guys and sometimes they don't even like each other, but they'll be in the same room, they're on the same record, they're in the same video. It's just all about the business and it's not personal. With women, it's always personal and emotional. We can be envious and insecure.
You really got to be hustling, you got to really be on your grind... you have to be a person that people want to listen or learn from.
You see how Jay-Z has evolved from 'Reasonable Doubt' to now being Shawn Carter. You have to grow to be a superstar and not just a rap artist.
I don't know if Trick knows what it means to evolve or not, but I do. He's street and that's all he's going to ever be. I came out being street, I came out being sexy, and now I've moved on to still being street but also being more mature and more classy. You have to grow.
How I try to balance relationships and being in the public eye is not telling people my business. That's what makes it work for me.
We can't blame ourselves for how we're shaped. That's how we were born. Embrace it.
I'm very honest and open about my sexuality, being sensuous, being powerful as a woman.
Receipts' was meaning, I'm going in. I'm gonna invest in everything that I want, and that is more to myself, and my business, to make it be exactly what I want.
I'm from Miami. Everybody knows how the girls in Miami is fly.
I love Fergie. Fergie's amazing.
When you say rap or Hip Hop, people expect it to be just urban or black. And I don't really feel like you should really put a face on it.
I got Kelly Price on a record, which is a real personal record.
I worked with Tory Lanez.
I've changed and grown so much in this business from making the standard rap record.
I'm trying to build a brand.
I think it's important for a woman to always look good and present herself in a respectable manner.
I want my fans to look classy, not trashy.
Puffy is like the ultimate business guy. He has so much under his belt - the whole Croc thing, the clothing line, the TV shows, the movies. That's where I see myself eventually, building my brand to be able to do all these things and be successful at each one.
I'm a girly girl. I love nothing more than putting on makeup and getting my hair done.
I've known Trick Daddy for a while. We went to junior high school together, and we've always kept in touch. Trick was like the crazy dude. He was everybody's friend. We hung out and partied.
A lot of women have low self-esteem. I was just brought up around a lot of women and they were stern. Like, you don't need a man to do anything; you gotta take care of yourself, believe in yourself. My mom was like, go get it. And now I'm just a strong person, and I don't believe in giving up.
I wanted to be an entertainer; I wanted to be on the big screen. I loved the cameras and the lights.
I am living the American dream, and everybody is not able to live that dream.
The real test is if you can survive through the hardest parts. The yes is always good. Somebody says yes - you feel like you're on a roll. When you get that first no, if you can pass that, that's when you really know you're onto something.
I've worked with some of the greatest guys in the game, and they've always treated me with the same amount of respect, as if they were just working with another dude.
Whether it was love, unhappy moments, fun, partying, hanging out with friends, traveling outside the country, all of my experiences were a part of my albums. Every time I did a record, I took it all into the studio.
If you don't like what I'm saying, then don't listen to it.
Me and Eve are like biological sisters.
Beef is a waste of energy and time. Beef doesn't pay the bills. Beef doesn't put food on the table.
My girlfriends and I were the types that supported each other.
If you work hard and you believe in your craft and yourself, I don't think nobody can stop you.
You gotta keep on pushing the envelope and pushing the door until you get to where you're trying to go. You're the person that's gotta make that happen. No matter what team's behind you, if you don't put the effort behind it, it's not gonna work.
