Determination Quotes by Nicki Minaj
People say 'Why do you call yourself Lewinsky? Oh my gosh she is so degrading herself right now oh my god why is she calling herself that?!' I felt like Monica Lewinsky took a crazy L. I felt like she was in a position to do something big but she didn't have the smarts to use her power. & I think females do that all the time. So Lewinsky stands for the chick that's that close to the president. I'm that close to Lil Wayne. It's up to me now to use my intelligence to get to the next step. Everything is a stepping stone. Everything is a tool.- Nicki Minaj
Clearly there’s an opening, because females in hip-hop come so far and few between. But the winners make an open lane out of a closed lane. The winners just say, “I am” and it happens, and they don’t do a lot of thinking and guessing and planning about what they can do, they just do it. And that’s kinda like how I am.- Nicki Minaj
Wayne has always been my biggest influence. It's weird because I sit down and talk to Wayne like he's just a regular human being, and then I walk on stage with him and there's 20,000 people screaming for him. I think it puts it into perspective for me like, wait a minute, this is actually attainable. I could have this! I just need to focus and remember that my grind is just beginning. I always say that that's what I learned from Wayne the most: he never stops grinding. It showed me, Yo, this dude is the truth, and I'm going to follow in his footsteps.- Nicki Minaj
A lot of people ask me why I feel that I've gotten a lot of notariety so quickly. People seem to be under the impression that I made it to this point fast. Obviously for me, I don't feel like that cause it's me you know. I feel like I've been doing it for 10 billion years. But every time someone says something like that to me I remember to just thank God for getting me this far cause sometimes you don't realize how far you've gotten until you look around & you look at the people who are still trailing so far behind you. I know that no matter what, in the end it's not gonna be about my talent, you know. It's not gonna be about my connections. It's not gonna be about my looks. It's gonna be about who wants it the most. & I want it the most.- Nicki Minaj
