“I'm thinking of a legacy that I can be proud of and wealth that my grandchildren…” — Nicki Minaj

You wanna know what scares people? Success. When you don't make moves and when you don't climb up the ladder, everybody loves you because you're not competition.

People always want to talk about who I was, but I've always been singing, always been experimenting with pop music.

When I get up in the morning and put on a pink or a green wig, I see myself as a piece of animation. It lets me be the person I want to be, a person who's not embarrassed to have fun.

I don't have to do things just to please people. It's okay to do what I love because what I love, my fans love. And they're really the only ones that should matter.
