“You get people who rap about stuff that they don't do all day long. Ha...” — Missy Elliott Quote

“You get people who rap about stuff that they don't do all day long. Half those guys, you hear them on the radio, and then you meet them, and you're like, 'Wow. They're so sweet.'”

“I felt like, 'How do I fit in'? I'm battling. But then I never fit in!'... I thank God for somebody like Pharrell who stayed in my ear. For him, at that time, 'Happy' was everywhere; he didn't have to share anything with me.”

“I don't just throw out microwave records.”

“If your daughter loves tennis, don't send her to dance classes. Let them learn spirituality. Don't shut them up in air-conditioned rooms where they watch TV all day and snack on chips. Let them get out, play in the dirt, sweat it out and come back home.”

“Sitting down and watching a 90-minute game is the last thing I want to do after I've trained all day and had four or five meetings about football as well.”

“I'm a Valley Girl through and through, all day every day.”
