I Would Be Lying If I Said

I Want People - Especially Young Girls - To Know That In Life, Nothing Is Going To Be Based On Sex Appeal. You've Got To Have Something Else To Go With That.

Chimpanzees Is Hatin But I Take It All In Stride. Put Her In A Jungle With Bananas On The Side.

I Just Kinda Do What I Feel. I Never Knew What Lane I Would Fill, [or That] I Would Fill A Lane At All. I Didn't Even Really Contemplate That Far Down The Road. I Just Started Having Fun, And A Lot Of That Came From Me Seeing Wayne Dare To Be Different, And I Started Feeling Like I Can Be A Multifaceted Rapper. I Don't Have To Be A One-dimensional Female Rapper. Once I Put That In Perspective, It Was Like Everything Just Got Easier For Me, Because I No Longer Wanted To Fit In Anybody's Box... I Just Wanted To Be Nicki.

I Feel Like [throughout] My Entire Career And Life, That I've Been Judged By People Who Really Did Not Know Me. But I Definitely Think That They Probably Were Right To Assume What They Had Assumed About Me, Because There Was So Little To Go On Out There. If You Only See Videos Of Me Being Crazy And Hearing Little Things Here And There, Then Obviously You're Not Going To Have Any Idea Who I Really Am.

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
