Our first album was a stupid mistake by the record company. They tried to sell us as an alternative act. A big mistake!
Now you are meeting another Lauryn, so it's good to be reintroduced.
Just because I have a guitar, it doesn't mean that changes me. I still rhyme, I still sing.
It's funny - more people talk about my 'babe-dom' now than they did before I had a child. Whatever. I guess I'm a role model in hot pants now. That's cool!
I am up there onstage alone with that guitar. I don't have to consider no one else and whether they are comfortable. I need very little.
I have a problem with procrastination. I have a great deal of difficulty deciding what to wear. It's a woman thing.
I hope that by people seeing the result of freedom that they'll want some, too.
I like a brother that cuts to the chase.
I started to see that my concept of spirituality was totally wrong.
I was unhappy with my life. I had acquired everything I thought I wanted, only to find out, This is it?
I was very confused. I didn't understand the difference between rebellion against God and rebellion against the system that's not God.
From the time that you are a child, you grow up repressing yourself.
For a while, the genre seemed to be just about sex and crime. Rappers are storytellers; the stories don't need to be true!
We have to make sure the music and the message and the words and all the elements come through in our songs and every time we appear in public.
