I still go on YouTube and watch the old performances and the 'Soul Train' lines. I'm still amazed by how much soul and funk the music and dancers had.
And basically I always said when I was little that if I ever became successful or a celebrity, I would buy her this huge house and she would never have to work anymore. And I've done that. So I feel happy about doing that.
I wasn't born a superstar.
Breaking news: there is only one Missy.
I mean, when it's time to rhyme rhyme, I can get down for mine.
No, I'm a flirtatious person; I'll flirt all day long, but it really is hard to get into that when I'm so into the music, and I'm in the studio all day long and all night sometimes. That's not an exaggeration.
Me personally, I don't ask too much, but I do ask Him to continue to bless me successfully, financially, and just to keep me humble.
I always have been an entertainer, whether it's been joking or performing for people. And I always thought I had a talent, because I could rap and I could sing, and I did write.

I love my mother. She's my first love. She has been through a lot and is a sole survivor.
He was like, 'I want to get in the studio with you.' Who turns down Pharrell?
When you think of Missy, you can't say, 'Missy reminded me of someone else.' There was no Missy comparison before.
I used to put all my doll babies on my bed with their hands up and I would do full shows for them. I'd even do the screaming and clapping. I was bugging to be a singer.
If I wanted to do 'The Missing Files of Missy Elliott,' I have probably six albums just sitting there.
I still don't want no broke dude! I'm open to offers, but he's got to be stable. I see a lot of friends who feel they have to be with a man, but they always pick the wrong one. Are there any right ones?
Seeing my mother become very strong and very independent had a huge impact on me.
I don't think Puffy knows what he did for hip-hop. Because he intertwined hip-hop and R&B so that people weren't intimidated.
