They love putting me in the 'indie queen' box. I had some high standards in my 20s that I don't have anymore.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't want to be 'box-office girl,' but I don't want to be 'that indie girl' either.
I enjoy just being me. I don't need to be Queen Latifah, the brand, 24 hours a day.
Being an indie queen, people think I have all these choices. Like I've just been sitting around waiting for the best indie film that I deem acceptable.
There was definitely a point in my thirties when I thought, 'Oh, wow, I'm not the youngest person on the set anymore.' But I like it. Working with younger artists is totally exciting.
When I'm 40 and nobody wants to see me in a sparkly dress anymore, I'll be like: 'Cool, I'll just go in the studio and write songs for kids.'
When I was younger, I always wanted to be someone in the entertainment industry.
It's not like I set out to be 'the indie guy.'
Those shows I did with Queen were pretty surreal. I was really excited and super-flattered, but intimidated at the same time.
After I do a big movie I get offered big movies. But I always do the weirdest indie.
I know I'm not the 'Indie It Girl' and I'll never have a big breakout, big runaway success. And that's okay.
