QUOTES FROM LEFT EYE
"I'm not here to change what people think of me. I'm here to change what people think of themselves.""Now when I look in the mirror I see beauty, but it goes much deeper than looks. My thought process is beautiful to me.""The first day you understand power is the day you realize you don't have it.""If there's one thing I've learned from this business, it's to love myself. It's a dog eat dog world out there, and if I don't love me, I won't survive.""It's easy for me to fall in love. I'm not the kind of person who believes you only fall in love once.""Nobody's perfect. Name one person who is perfect in an imperfect world? Situations are bound to happen. It's how you deal with them that really matters.""I didn't struggle this far to have people tear me down. I came out of some **** where it was like, I didn't know what I was doing. I finally started looking at myself like I'm worth something, and it's because I've accomplished everything those people told me I wouldn't. The best way for me to get those people back is it come back out even harder.""What makes a star a "star" is the light that shines from within the person.""People limit themselves and don't even realize it. How do you know you can't do something if you've never tried it? Be open-minded and always have high expectations; that way, you still achieve a lot even if you fall short of your goal.""There's too many niggas sittin' on they ass, waitin' for **** to just happen. **** don't just happen. Don't **** around and miss the boat.""Some people go through things and they fall all apart. I can say I went through a lot and that's what made me strong, but it's just my make-up.""My favorite room in the house is the kitchen. I make more use out of it than of any other room in the house--cook, clean, bathe, eat, sleep, fax, watch TV, talk on the phone, ****, etc.""I don't care if one day I'm in TLC and we're selling 20 million records and the next I'm sitting in a jail cell. It's not that I would prefer the jail cell to TLC, but, hey, it's not
gonna break me.""My love is music. More than I would like to be on stage , I would love to be responsible for the music that's on the radio. You know, the songs people love, I would like to have something to do with that.""I'm very creative, and creativity has no end.""I think you should flaunt what you have.""I'd say my look is multi-flavored--like a pack of Life-Savers. You open a pack, you never know what color is going to be on top!""When it's time to do something, you've got to get up, look alive. It's show time, baby! Smile
for the cameras!"[On Dallas Austin] "I know producers that could roll him up and smoke his ass.""I have always been a very spiritual woman, I think we all have different heaven's. Mine will probably be me re-living my life over.""My dream is to keep goin' forward and never go backwards, and I don't know just have like goals on top of goals on top of goals. ""I'll whoop Foxy's ass!""I was sent to improve the quality of life.""I'm living proof that you cannot judge a book by its cover.""I felt like an outcast. It used to be the three of us being very silly, and then it was just the two of them being silly. I didn't feel silly anymore." (on her falling-out with her TLC bandmates)"There's a thin line between genius and insanity - and I always get labeled as being the crazy one"[about Tupac Shakur] No, we never slept together. That was one of the first things he told me. He said, "Don't ever let me sleep with you. I don't care what I say, I don't care how. I don't care what I do, just don't let it happen." So I stuck by that because I didn't want to mess anything up.[on her short-lived experience in jail while awaiting relocation to detox] I just felt uncomfortable. I wasn't really scared until I started walking down the hall. I started to think, "What if a girl tries to rape me, or what if someone tries to bully me because I'm Left Eye." That kind of stuff was running through my head. But as soon as I turned the corner and all the girls saw me, they started cheering. They were like, "Whoooo! Left Eye! Left Eye!" So I started pimping, like, "Yeah! What's up?" First I was walking like I was scared, but when they started yelling and screaming my name, I stood upright and I felt confident. Like okay, I'm not gone have to worry about that stuff I was just thinking about. I was like, "All right!" The whole time I was there I was just cool. I didn't have a problem with nobody and nobody had a problem with me. I wasn't like stuck in a corner crying like, "What am I going to do?" As soon as I got there, I joined in the card game. There were people who were excited. They were calling their family. They were like, "Left Eye, can you say hi to my little nephew?" I was like, "Sure, whatever, no problem."Lisa Lopes was a very possitve person. When she'd enter a room it just lit up. She had a big heart but an even bigger spirit. It was hard not to fall in love with her. She will truly be missed but never forgotten. Always&Forever 1971-2002LOVEMYFLASH CODE
