European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - October 16, 1994, Darmstadt, Hesse                                An to Queen Latifah  life and a living single by James Endrst Hartford courant. Queen Latifah does no to play the Princess on the set of living single monday nights on an to. She takes direction like everybody else even though it was the presence of the rap artist turned actress that got the Fox broadcasting comedy off the ground when it made its debut last fall. And the focus of the show a about six upwardly Mobile african americans living and working in new York City a has broadened making this More of an ensemble show than a single Star vehicle. A a we re Gonna grow sure a says Latifah relaxing in her trailer during a recent break in production at Warner Bros. Studios in los Angeles where the Fox broadcasting sitcom is in its second season. A a we re Gonna grow As the show grows. As we get better the writers get better they re Gonna make it More  Latifah born Dana Owens May Only be 24 years old a relative show business Novice who dresses like a hip hop kid Overall shorts unbuttoned on top a Plain White to shirt and a pair of Blue Converse sneakers. But there a no mistaking her poise her composure her remarkable sense of self a maturity that belies her age. Undoubtedly some of that Security comes from what she has already achieved. A grammy nominated artist her 1993 album Black reign went Gold a a first for a female Solo rap artist. And clearly she knows How to hit her Marks on a to or movie set. She has appeared in feature films such As Jungle fever juice and House party 2. She has also produced and starred in her own Fox special at amp to presents Queen Latifah and friends and now Heads her own multimedia company. Up even if it All were to end today which it wont Latifah says she could Deal with it. A push come to shove a she says a a in la go Back to College with what i already have and be Able to run businesses and be Fine for  besides living single which co stars Kim Coles Kim Fields and Erika Alexander John Henton and . Carson is just her Day Job. A music is something i have to do a she says. A this is like my 9 to 5.�?� and while the Newark n.j., native often dreamed As a child of being a Star on to rather than a to Star site has become realistic about the practical and personal pressures involved. A but its Cool a she says. A a it a a Good  perhaps that a because Latifah has enough leverage and presence of mind to keep it that Way. A i will never do anything that i done to believe in a she says. A never if in a going to sell out you re going to pay me boy. Aid i can to even imagine the Price that they could of for me that could get me to go on to and be an idiot in front of the whole country because i want to go Home. As Long As my House is paid for my Mother loves me my family loves me my friends love me. I can go Home. But if i come out Here and i sell myself and i become something in a not where am i going to go Home to who a Gonna accept me when i get Home when All this goes away a she Hasni to had to fight too Many Battles on living single so far she says. Just an occasional adjustment in the sometimes Bawdy script. Generally its an Overly Ripe sexual reference or More often a curse. A if we gotta curse lets curse where we should curse a she says with a smile. A i want to use my curses selectively a cause i do curse sometimes you know. But my grandmother in Maryland she watches the to show a both my grandmothers and my grandma los Angeles times Queen Latifah a sitcom airs mondays on an ther a and you know i think about them watching it. I done to want to make my family ashamed by doing something that a really  Shell speak her mind in her own terms though. About Hollywood. About race. And about How those two issues relate. A White people and Black people look at things differently a she says careful to note that she is about to paint a picture with Broad but in her opinion True strokes. A we arrive at racism in different ways. Black people who Are racist have been discriminated against to the Point where they re like a Bleep All White  and that show they get to that racism. They done to Start off with parents teaching them a White people hate Mem hate Mem hate  White people Start off like that a a lot of them they get that message. They get that a we Are the Best. We Are on every commercial. We Are everything on this planet kind of attitude from everything around  so when a Black viewer and White viewer watch television she says they re Likely to see the same show in completely different ways. A if you put a White Guy on to who acts a fool a she says a a it Sok because there arc 10 other White Guys on to who Arentt. Well when you put a Black person on to who acts like an idiot there a a difference. We get angry at that sometimes because we done to have that Many Black people on to and we re sick of being portrayed in that Way. We know there Are intelligent Black people in our communities. Everything relates Back to our sense of self ouf  so Queen Latifah would rather not make the hoi Lywood scene. A a in a a different kind of person. I come from a different place a she explains. A i come from my own experience and in a going to be Black out Here. In a not going to come out Here and try to act White and try to go to All these Hollywood parties and fit in with everyone and try to be accepted. Because i know who i am. I done to need to gravitate to other Peoples lives. I done to need to Latch onto their lives to make me who i  none of these sentiments Are expressed in anger. Its a simple philosophy on her part. A path she follows. Again she keeps her roots her family in mind. A was Long As i can do that a she says a a in la be Fine. I want to keep them proud of  but for those familiar with Latifah the rapper those who think she May have lost her Edge not to worry. A no i Haven to mellowed a she laughs a i Haven to at All. In be just become More Covert. Hell no. I will never Mellow. Mellow Means to Stop fighting and ill always be a fighter always.�?�. Los angles times Washington Post news service today 1 a v. .
