So, my happiness doesn't come from money or fame. My happiness comes from seeing life without struggle.

See I need you in my life for me to stay No no no no no I know you'll stay Oh no no no no don't go away

Shawty Imma only tell you this once, you the illest And for your loving Imma die hard like Bruce Willis

I'm bout that fast money, money ain't got no patience. But if them boys come run like you on probation.

The music is always blasting wherever I am that people always knock on my door and say, "It's too loud!"

Oh that's what he left? Let his mama pick it up. Might back up on it, VROOM VROOM wit the pick-up truck.

Still I rise Still I fight Still I might crack a smile Keep my eyes on the prize See my haters tell em hi

These broke rappers always rappin bout a pink truck. I'm only happy when I'm hoppin out the Brinks truck.

I aint gotta get a plaque, I aint gotta get awards I just walk up out the door, all the girls will applaud

I am not a girl that can ever be defined. I am not fly, I am levitation..I represent an entire generation!

Now all the bums is wondering where I be's at -if you ain't a barbie it's none of your freaking beeswax!!!

I was in them million dollar meetings, he was cheatin. All up in the church, he was sneakin wit the deacon.

To adjust your philosophy and creativity in fashion to the time you're living in is the most important thing.

Got that super soaker pussy pop like cola coka. Plus it's tighter than a choker, got em smilin like the joker.

I don't compare myself to Lil Kim. I'm not doing anything in comparison with any girls. I'm doing Nicki Minaj.

Please you can never compare to me, all these b****es is scared of me. I am who they couldn't even dare to be.

Like, I mean I don't even know why you girls bother at this point. Like give it up, it's me. I win and you lose.

I think that's the biggest misconception - that in order for me to be sexy I have to make sure my boobs are out.

You have to know that as long as you love who you are - your morals, your values, that type of stuff - you're OK.

People always want to talk about who I was, but I've always been singing, always been experimenting with pop music.

If people are sitting in the barbershop talking about my butt, it's conversational. That's what people are gonna do.

I love my hair. But I don't even remember my original color because I started bleaching it so young. I was, like, 11.

I've always been the type of person to make everybody happy and get things done. I want everything to be 100% perfect.

This one goes out to all my critics: don't you feel stupid? Look how I did it. Look how it came to pass when I said it.

I think sometimes the fashion world isn't even about clothes anymore; it's about this 'in' crowd, and I'm not into that.

I do have a few personalities. When people started making a big deal out of it, I started making names for these people.

You like me, you don't like me, you love me, you hate me. I'm gonna be me, but one thing I have to back it up is skills.

I get a handsome amount. I could definitely buy a car off one of my guest appearances. & I'm not talking about a Hyundai.

I cannot hold a grudge against Mariah Carey. What people don't understand is that I've looked up to her for so many years.

I would be lying if I said I don't like to look sexy. But then there are some days when I don't want to look or feel sexy.

If you don’t take control of your career, guess what? You’ll be stuck in the sunset watching the sunrise, I am thesunrise.

I don't put cash in my Louis Vuitton wallet. I have it thrown around my bag - jut a whole bunch of hundreds, maybe $5,000.

But, by just being myself, I end up touching a lot more people who might never have paid much attention to a female rapper.

I look at rap as an opportunity to act. My head is full of different characters - in each song I'm auditioning a character.

Sometimes you don't realize how far you've gotten until you look around at the people who are still trailing far behind you.

I think music gives so much inspiration. I listen to all kinds of music: pop, hip-hop, everything. I also love classical music.

The people that are inclined to hate are also inclined to belosers. A loser could never congratulate a winner – it’s not in them

Self-righteous and entitled but they swearin' on the Bible that they love you When really they no different from all your rivals.

Pink Friday is a celebration of my life at this moment; it is a reflection of me as a creator, and an expression of me as a woman.

I've always had this female-empowerment thing in the back of my mind - because I wanted my mother to be stronger, and she couldn't be.

The animated bug has bitten pop culture. It makes me feel happy and free. When you don't act seriously, you can make up your own rules.

People's expectations of what I'm capable of doing are very low. People have been used to hearing little one-liners and me play around.

We all love to see women on top, and as the record shows, this next powerful woman is always on top. She does it all by living for love.

I feel like when I reach my 500-million-dollar goal, then no other woman in rap will ever feel like they can't do what these men have done

I can rap in a London accent, make weird faces, wear spandex, wigs, and black lipstick. I can be more creative than the average male rapper.

I wouldn't even say the internet is a gift and a curse for hip-hop. All types of music are bootlegged, including movies which are bootlegged.

I really, really don't think that, outside of maybe some pink wigs, [that] there's anything that separates me from every other woman in America.

Every woman is a character - but people need to see I'm a regular human. It's like you wear a pink wig and you're no longer human all of sudden.

I don't want children cursing. I'm very strict on my nieces and my little brother. They have to listen to clean versions of music. Even my music.

Sometimes I wake up in the morning and I am like, 'This is a high-top day' or 'This is a bob day,' but when I get my clothes on that's when I see.
