On why she can’t slow down (after being told by a physician in January to slow down):

“No, I can’t. Not this year. I just want to do everything now. I told myself I needed two years of being uncomfortable so I could be comfortable. Things just change every single f–king day. And it’s like, This is your moment. This is the time to do it. I want to give my fans a good moment and have been pulling strings to make this s–t happen, and it’s turning out beautiful.”

On stage fright and being a “celebrity”:

“When I have a camera on me, I get really nervous. On tour, I feel like I have a safety blanket because it’s my fans. I’m shy with all of them [celebrities], it don’t matter if you big or small.”

On attending Madonna’s and Beyoncé’s shows to prepare for her own:

“That [Beyoncé’s show] was way crazy. That’s way removed from what I could do. I hate choreography; it’s like math to me. I don’t have much of a rhythm like that. I could rap all day. But dancing is like, ugh.”

On taking your hair into her own hands:

“A bad song is not gonna f–k up your life…[But] imagine you put some s–t into your hair, and you damage it, and I’m responsible?!”

Among the best things to use for your hair:

“Onions! [They] Do Not! Make! Your! Hair! Stink! I tried garlic… Do not put garlic in your hair.”

On motherhood:

“Something changes in you, and that’s all moms. Even a f–king dog will change as soon as they become a mom. They don’t got to learn it. Just… (she looks at her phone screen, her kids in the background.) A new you is born.”

On working motherhood:

“So I just be like, How the f–k am I gonna make this s–t f–king work?”

On her future legacy:

“I want to be the grandma that everybody come to the crib, and it’s like, ‘Yeah, my grandma was that bitch.’”
