ADD QUOTES
- Queen Latifah: If there are kids who want to follow in my footsteps, I'd say that my shoes are too big for them to fill! But their shoe size is just perfect. Always follow your own path. Look at people for an example, but then make sure to do things your way. Surround yourself with positive people. To me, having a career is about being able to go to work every day without it feeling like work, because you love it so much.
  Edit Share Hide
- Queen Latifah: I lost relatives to AIDS, a couple of my closest cousins. I lost friends to AIDS, high-school friends who never even made it to their 21st birthdays in the `80s. When it's that close to you, you can't really deny it, and you can't run from it. You have to become a forum.
  Edit Share Hide
- Queen Latifah: We had a blast. I can't even remember having this much fun making a movie. It was challenging, of course, but it was wonderful.
