Change is not an event, its a process.
I'm at a point in my life where I have something solid now. I'm a peaceful person, and I want to be surrounded by peace no matter what I'm doing.
Rap is hardcore street music but there are women out there who can hang with the best male rappers. What holds us back is that girls tend to rap in these high, squeaky voices. It's irritating. You've gotta rap from the diaphragm.
It is stupid not to talk about sex. It is stupid not to communicate with your spouse and your children. It can't be a taboo.
The best form of flattery is to be admired, imitated or respected. I've always felt proud our fans look up to us or feel we are inspirational.
I don't like the fact that there are so few women in rap.

Our attitude is that we want to cross over. You can't go on making records just for your own hometown.
None of Your Business.' It's the only Salt-N-Pepa song that I regret.
I've changed my life in a lot of ways. I'm a mom, a wife, and a Christian. Some of the things I expressed in my early 20s aren't what I care to express right now.
I'm really open to doing music. We just have to figure out what kind of music it's going to be - something where I don't feel compromised.
I'm not really into the fashion thing.
I don't want to give the illusion that one day God came down and I was healed.
