I've always expressed my love for fashion through my music.

A lot of people let me down... A lot of people I thought were my friends turned on me.

I've always expressed my love for fashion through my music.

I haven't had sex in eight months. To be honest, I now prefer to go bowling.

The artist I wanna be like is Michael Jackson. I'll get the house with the roller coaster and the rides and a disco, and I'll invite all my friends and just stay at home.

Today begins a new saga in my life which I expect to strengthen me and allow me time for reflection... I plan to write music while in prison, read and pray regularly and will come out a stronger, more confident woman.

I want all my friends, family and fans to know that I am in good spirits and I will be fine.

I like to live righteous. And I just want everyone to know I'm not trying to get out of anything.

I am blessed to have so many great things in my life - family, friends and God. All will be in my thoughts daily.

But this is Miami, you can't come to Miami and not show any skin. You gotta show something. If you're all covered up in this heat, you're gonna make me pass out out just to look at you. It's sweaty in Miami-but the diamonds will keep me cool.

It was a very emotional dinner... Everyone shared personal stories about her and gave her words of encouragement and inspiration. Everyone tried to remain positive.

All my life, men have told me I wasn't pretty enough - even the men I was dating. And I'd be like, 'Well, why are you with me, then?' It's always been men putting me down just like my dad. To this day when someone says I'm cute, I can't see it. I don't see it no matter what anybody says.

I have low self-esteem and I always have. Guys always cheated on me with women who were European-looking. You know, the long-hair type. Really beautiful women that left me thinking, 'How I can I compete with that?' Being a regular black girl wasn't good enough.

I know I always say my occupation is not dancing, but dancing is in my heart, dancing makes me feel good.

I like bowling. I suck at it, but I like it. You know what's so funny? I have days when I'm absolutely great at doing it, and then I have days when I just don't understand it.

I love doing things people don't expect.

I love spending time with my dog, my niece and my family. I'm very family-oriented.

I love to reinvent myself, and that's because I am a very free person. I do what I feel, and I love who I am.

I really want people to understand that nobody is perfect and that things happen in life beyond our control.

I respect everybody, but at the same time, I carry myself with an aura that demands respect, too.

I think people have a misconception of me, period. My life has been a whirlwind sometimes, but it's different to what people think. I definitely feel like there's a misconception about me and who I am.

I'm a girly girl. I'm strong, but I'm very timid. Very dainty.

Like, I get along with everybody. I respect everybody, but at the same time, I carry myself with an aura that demands respect, too.

Lil' Kim is my stage name and a character I use when I'm out working my livelihood.

Money talks. This is the thing, at the end of the day, I do what I have to do, and I'mma keep doing what I have to do.

My fan mail is what keeps me going.

One thing about me is that I'm very much like the Black Madonna. I love to reinvent myself and that's because I am a very free person.

The one thing I do like is lotion and moisture on my hands and face. I love to have my face moisturized. I like different ones. I like Natura Bisse.

The streets made me. They stay at me. There's nothing that's gonna take away from my legacy. I'm sorry. It is what it is. I'm dying this way. With the crown on my head, nobody can take nothing away from me. It is what it is. I am who I am. Bottom line.

When you are a real artist who is serious about your craft, you love good music. Period.

I want to do other things like more fashion campaigns.

The present condition of fame is merely fashion.

Fashion is treated too much as news rather than what it is, what it does and how it performs.

They know they're going to look beautiful, and I don't think women should look like costumes. They shouldn't look like fashion victims.

I believe that history might be, and ought to be, taught in a new fashion so as to make the meaning of it as a process of evolution intelligible to the young.

The difference between style and fashion is quality.

My memory of my mom is a wine glass in one hand and a cigarette in the other. She was a runway fashion model, and she was quite a glamorous woman.

Oh, never mind the fashion. When one has a style of one's own, it is always twenty times better.

"Women's fashion" is a euphemism for fashion created by men for women.

I have fun with my clothes onstage; it's not a concert you're seeing, it's a fashion show.

Fashion is a social agreement. the result of a consensus of a large group of people.

Fashion is the science of appearances, and it inspires one with the desire to seem rather than to be.

I base my fashion taste on what doesn't itch.

I love art and fashion.

Never in my wildest dreams did I entertain the idea that I would become a fashion designer.

Women of the working class, especially wage workers, should not have more than two children at most. The average working man can support no more and and the average working woman can take care of no more in decent fashion.

Fashion as King is sometimes a very stupid ruler.

I did decide that you have to put your name about a bit, and so, although I would have preferred to have never done publicity or an interview or a fashion shoot for a magazine or a chat show.

The fact that biological, or "natural" rules might help in the creation of a computer generated work of art is interesting, but even a wonderful work of art made in this fashion isn't the same as a person, with all his or her experiences and emotions involved, making art.
