Queen Latifah Quotes

Change isn't always comfortable, but it is a fact of life.

When I was put into arenas and stadiums when I was 27, I always thought somebody was going to say, 'No, they're not here for you.'

So you start feeling more comfortable in your skin the more you do something, or the older you get.

Pretension is a poor joke that you play on yourself. Snap out of it. Recognise your strengths, work on your weaknesses. Real achievement is liking what you see in the mirror every morning.

Fitting in is unnecessary. Embrace who you are. You will go through rough times in high school, but always stay strong, and never deny yourself!

I've been no stranger to change.
