One Hundred Year Starship really is about the idea that is we pursue an extraordinary tomorrow; we'll build a better world today.
I think you have a lot of really good artists today. You have your Beyonce, Usher, Nicki Minaj and the like. But our generation, the artists were stronger. You're talking about myself, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Roberta Flack, Gladys Knight, The Temptations, The Four Tops.
The greatest block today in the way of woman's emancipation is the church, the canon law, the Bible and the priesthood.
Even today, in our progressive times, in most movies that come out, the men have to have biceps and the women have to be thin or something.
I can't help thinking that if the American West were discovered today, the most glorious bits would be sold off to the highest bidder. Yosemite might be nothing but weekend homes for Internet tycoons.

There are a lot of people who helped make Queen Latifah who she is today. I don't forget, but a lot of people do and get big heads. My mom will make me walk the dogs or take out the trash when I go home. I'm not allowed to get a big head; I've still got to do the simple things in life.
