I would never say I was an icon, but so many people have said I am, so I suppose I am. I mean, I can't not be what everyone says I am. But I don't feel like an icon.

I want to be an icon.

I don't have a lot of style icons. There are not a lot of people today who I look to.

It's always intimidating to meet an icon.

I ain't no icon. It's people like Patti LaBelle, somebody like that's an icon. I'm just Missy. I'm just crazy, that's all.

If you think too much about playing an icon, it will immobilize you. You have to treat it like a fresh character. Sure, there are guidelines so that you don't upset people, but you have to find your own way.

I never think of myself as an icon. What is in other people's minds is not in my mind. I just do my thing.

Please explain to me what being an icon is. How do you define it? I haven't been given a script. I don't know what the dialogues of an icon are.

I hope when I'm dead I'll be considered an icon, though.
