There is nothing that you can't overcome. So it's never too late for happiness.

We need to say to ourselves 'I'm talented, loved, worthy, and valued.'

Ladies, you have to love yourself... you don't always have to have a man.

We had fashion errors that became hits. We were bold with our colors and tights and being very sexy and the assymmetrical hairstyle.

Our trademark asymmetrical hairstyle came about by accident. My sister was trying to get her beautician's licence, and I was her guinea pig. She permed my hair and didn't wash out one of the sides properly, so the whole right side of my hair was eaten out. After she washed it, I was half bald.

There are good men out there. There are guys who have their priorities straight, who take care of their kids, who respect their mothers.

There was a time when we had a nice little run: Eve, Lil' Kim, Queen Latifah, Missy Elliott, Lauryn Hill, Remy Ma, Da Brat - it goes on. But what I noticed is that a lot of talented females in hip-hop came out of a male camp.

At the end of the day, your life is on the line when you're dealing with abusive men, and your life is more important than any man.

When I see a cutie in front at a concert, I say, 'Ohhh, you're so cute! What's your name?' But I wouldn't do that in real life.

For girls who want to get their waistline down a little bit and don't have any weights in the house, they can actually use a broom and put it behind their necks, lap over it and twist and squat. I do all of that if I don't go to the gym.

Be empowered as a female, as a woman. Don't apologize. Don't lose yourself in another person's life.

Women come up to us all the time and give us the most amazing compliments, like, 'Salt-N-Pepa was the soundtrack of my life.' They remind us that we meant so much to them. Sometimes artists don't really grasp that. But when you talk to fans, you get in touch with your legacy.

The guys love us - they think we're sexy - but the girls take us seriously... I've always said that when I was a teenager growing up, I wish I had girls like Salt-n-Pepa to look up to. If I'd had someone I could relate to, a lot of things would probably be different.

I want to reach everyone, but I have a dedication to women. Being that I'm a woman myself, and with the things that I've gone through, I've dealt with a lot of women that are in the dark and blind about relationships who depend on men for their happiness, emotionally and financially.

We feel we're setting a trend. Other girl groups watch our style and see how we rap. And there are some male rappers I feel we've overthrown.

The women like us because we're the first real women rappers, and the men like us because we're strong. We're not some soft little rappers with soft little voices. The men who see us end up going, 'Hey! They're kickin' it!'

For a long time, we got no respect. People thought we just got lucky. They said we were a one-record wonder.

We all have little sisters and cousins who look up to us, and we see what they go through. So we have to be an example. A lot of artists come into this business and they don't see things that way. But as you get older - and now that we also have children - your conscience starts working on you.
