You are more powerful than you know; you are beautiful just as you are.

A woman is the full circle. Within her is the power to create, nurture and transform.

Don’t be afraid to speak up for yourself. Keep fighting for your dreams!

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

The power you have is to be the best version of yourself you can be, so you can create a better world.

If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun.

You have what it takes to be a victorious, independent, fearless woman.

The question isn’t who’s going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me.

I don’t care what you think about me. I don’t think about you at all.

Success is getting what you want, happiness is wanting what you get.

Power to me is the ability to make a change in a positive way.

The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.

You never know whether the subject matter will click with the audience at that particular time. I wish there was a formula, you know, 'That plus that equals success.'

I have only a couple friends, but I've known them since, like, you know, fourth grade or something. I've never changed anything about my little group of friends. I think if you're just smart, and you have the friends who care about you most, that's really all that matters.

The only thing I'd ever wanted in my life was to be a major-league ballplayer, but I had to admit to myself that I wasn't good enough. It broke my heart.

I think that's what most of us rappers do too often. We put too much information in some of our albums that could actually be on the next ones.

It is like the seed put in the soil - the more one sows, the greater the harvest.

I wish I had thought of Velcro muscles myself. I didn't have to go to the gym for all those years, all the hours wedded to the iron game, as we call it.
