“What my home life is like now is great.” — Missy Elliott

I remember, in school, writing Janet Jackson and Michael Jackson and asking them to come get me out of class. I would imagine them running down the hall and asking my teacher, 'Ms. Daniels, can we get Missy out of class? We're here to see Missy.'

I didn't want to be a genius! That ain't cool.

My first love is writing and producing. So I sometimes put my own stuff off to work on other people's projects.

I love my mother. She's my first love. She has been through a lot and is a sole survivor.
