Yes, yes I am ill. I go in for the kill.

Regular people don't even realize how much artists mean to them. Artists represent a lot to the average person. People listen to music all day on their iPods, so as artists, we become a real fixture in people's lives. As an artist, you can't take it personal. It's like your big brother teasing you.
I don't compare myself to Lil Kim. I'm not doing anything in comparison with any girls. I'm doing Nicki Minaj.

I grew up in the south of Italy, next to the sea, which was a great place to grow up. The type of life we lived there was very relaxing. Just very fun, open-minded people. It was all very sociable and low-key.
Still I rise Still I fight Still I might crack a smile Keep my eyes on the prize See my haters tell em hi.

Oh no we don't play with silly girls All I know is the material girls.
I'm just happy that 'Idol' producers gave me a shot on the show and to be able to show who I really was, because I feel like I'm every single woman.
A lot of rappers want somebody to always sing on their records. If you can hold a note, they're gonna' ask you to come and be apart of their creativity. At that time, they were eager and on the streets selling drugs or in the studio making music. That was a big part of our lives were I grew up.
They go the long way but we take the short cut Give me the blonde hair, long weave, short cut.
I'm brandin', I aint talking bout Presley. I keep a sniper, I aint talking bout Wesley.
When I grew up I saw females doing certain things, and I thought I had to do that exactly. The female rappers of my day spoke about sex a lot ... and I thought that to have the success they got, I would have to represent the same thing. When in fact I didn't have to represent the same thing.
Real big pretty titty, shut down every city. If you want the kit kitty, gotta get the key from me, all new everything, plus pay the rent for me. If we in the woods then these niggas pitch a tent for me.

White girls tell me Hey Nicki your camp rules! Is that why you get more head than shampoos?
I hate cameras. I hate cameras and I hate camera phones. The camera's my worst enemy and my best friend. It's the way I convey my emotions to the world without saying a word, so I use it. People always say, 'You come alive as soon as the camera's on!'
I don't think intimidated is the word. I definitely get excited by it. I don't want to let anybody down. I've always been the type of person to make everybody happy and get things done. I want everything to be 100% perfect. I do feel it when people hold me to high expectations.
I cannot hold a grudge against Mariah Carey. What people don't understand is that I've looked up to her for so many years.
I feel like when I reach my 500-million-dollar goal, then no other woman in rap will ever feel like they can't do what these men have done.
People's expectations of what I'm capable of doing are very low. People have been used to hearing little one-liners and me play around.
Now every club promoter wanna bid like auctions, cause I pack shows, sell ticks Celtics like Boston.
Had I accepted the pickle juice, I would be drinking pickle juice right now.

Me and the dread yo, give em some head blow Long as he know he keep me flier than a Red Bull.
I feel like I'm a designer, not a pop star. But if certain people think of me like a pop star, then the only thing I could do about this is dye my hair black and cut it short maybe.
I happen to be a pessimist, and maybe that's a good thing because I don't stop to smell the roses -- which is not a good personal thing. I don't stop and enjoy those moments. Always on to the next and never in the moment.
I know right now she has no idea who I am, but I'd like to collaborate with Enya one day. Of course I'd love to work with Jay-Z, maybe even Phil Collins. I love his voice.
I'm in my dressing room about to play to a sold-out crowd at the O2 arena in Ireland. Name a female rapper who's ever done that and I will give you $100,000.
My best and worst 'Idol' moments? I don't have a worst 'Idol' moment... I've been spectacular. Yes, I am going to toot my own horn. And then my best moment is every single moment. I'll toot it again!
Niggas know my pussy taste like mango-tango so they put a couple karats in my ankle bangles.
I don't put cash in my Louis Vuitton wallet. I have it thrown around my bag -- jut a whole bunch of hundreds, maybe $5,000.
I am so territorial, that from the start I just felt like whatever I was gonna do I was gonna write it myself, its my personal preference to always be in control of everything I do in life.
I have to have the sensibility to keep Versace company in good shape because there are so many people working for it, and we need to have the company grow and also be relevant. So I work very hard for all that to happen, and I wish people would know me for that and be satisfied.
Versace was and still is about the sophisticated woman who is elegant, not afraid of her own sensuality, and not afraid to dare or take risks in life.
I vowed that I'd never allow any man to control me or to be an alcoholic or anything like that around me, because I don't want my children seeing that.

In the history of the hip hop world...there has been one, single, solitary human being in the history of the world. One female rapper to sell more albums than me in the first week.
When you go hard your nays become yays. Yankee stadium with Jays and Kanyes.
I'm not judging myself; I'm not dissing what I do. I'm proud of what I've done and I'm proud of what I'm working on. I've accomplished something and I'm not going to be ashamed to be happy about what I've done.
Versace pythons. Louis Aviators. Balenciagas and they gotta be the gladiators.
You succeeded at your attempts to make me Need you desperately to vindicate me.
