I'm a very big Notorious B.I.G. fan and I do an imitation of him that always cracks everybody up.

I loved B.I.G., but not like I liked Tupac, because he was an actor, so I related to him.

I've certainly had to go through trying to change the fact that I was always identified as the widow of Notorious B.I.G. You know, I'm never going to be able to get away from having been married to him, but that's not what identifies me. You know, my life isn't just about that.

'Notorious' is a masterwork. I can watch it every day.

Even after 'Gangster' being a success, I was considered a B-grade actress and was a sidekick, even though I was good at what I did, and was jobless for two years.

Yeah, I came in at the end of the Notorious album, played on about five tracks and then we went on a tour. Then we did another album, Big Thing, and then we started writing songs together in 1989.

George Raft may or may not have gone both ways, but he was very sensitive to what they said about him, and it was one factor why he decided to play all those gangsters in the movies.

When I was making my first films, I was very interested in Hollywood B movies.

Charlie Brown is the one person I identify with. C.B. is such a loser. He wasn't even the star of his own Halloween special.

The great attraction to 'American Gangster' is these two great characters who are absolute paradoxes within their own sphere.
