“I think sometimes the fashion world isn't even about clothes anymore; ...” — Nicki Minaj Quote

“I think sometimes the fashion world isn't even about clothes anymore; it's about this 'in' crowd, and I'm not into that.”

“My advice to women in general: Even if you're doing a nine-to-five job, treat yourself like a boss. Not arrogant, but be sure of what you want - and don't allow people to run anything for you without your knowledge.”

“I don't agree that everyone should agree with everyone's lifestyle. I think that some people aren't going to agree, but I think that when you're mean and when you ridicule people it's a sign of your own insecurities.”

“My dad's a hero in a lot of ways. He was a 1960s and 1970s hippie and a member of the protest crowd.”

“I just don't like looking at the crowd and seeing them just staring and listening to the music. When I get them involved, whatever type of music I'm playing, they leave there feeling better.”

“When you are in the studio, you don't have anybody to feed off of; meanwhile, when you are playing live, you interact with people and you feel the energy in the room. When the crowd is going crazy, that definitely impacts your vocal performance. I prefer to sing live.”
