People sometimes think of 'queen' as a title that's shrouded with protocol and formality, and for that reason sometimes people are not easily saying what they want to say. They're reluctant to express their opinions, and I kind of find that frustrating because I want to know what people really, really think.

I love all things Queen - their songs are epic storytelling.

It's great to be queen!

I grew up listening to Queen. They were no stranger to throwing in the unexpected and something a little more dramatic.

I enjoy just being me. I don't need to be Queen Latifah, the brand, 24 hours a day.

I loved doing the 'King of Queens', I have never had so much fun doing a show. People got to see a different side of me.

I want to say unequivocally the Queen is magnificent. She is the enduring force, she is the glue that makes everyone feel good. She is beloved. I would rue the day when she may not be here.

I quite like the Queen. Now, this must come as a fairly amazing statement for someone who is avowedly left wing, pro-independence and anti-monarchy, but there you go.

Sometimes Queens' music is dark, but somehow it's ok to deliver it with a smile on your face because thing's are still going to kick in.
