Quotes
- Raven: (about the web sites that mock her weight) It hurt the first few times I read them, and then after like, I was like, "Oooh, this makes me want to succeed even more just for you, so you can say even more about me! How about that? My conflict in life is just making sure that I remember that I'm beautiful just the way I am, no matter what size I am. I'm thick and fabulous! I don't care how many haters are out there. I'm absolutely fabulous.
- Raven: I did have my 22nd birthday party at Tao Las Vegas. There was table dancing, but not by me! I still have my fun, I just do it tastefully. I still have my mama to answer to!
- Raven: (about her parents' positive influence) I remember how when I first came to Disney, they were talking to me about how to present myself and put my best foot forward. I was like, "Do you know my mother and father? It's okay, I've got this!" My parents were far stricter than the executives ever could be.
- Raven: My favorite game is Boggle. That's actually how I learned how to spell. I was having a little problem with spelling and Boggle helped me!

- Raven: I shop when I'm sad. I shop when I'm happy. It just makes me feel good.
- Raven: We have a fan base that has followed us from the first movie, so in a sense we’re like that underground cover group that someone is always watching. I think we’ll always be popular no matter who comes after us.

- Raven: It shows that girls can grow up, and everybody has to take a path, their own way. Even though the dream may be the same, everyone has to take their own road to that dream. We show that with the Cheetah Girls.

- Raven: Friendship is a give and take. You have to have a strong relationship with your friend and I think you have to offer them something and they have to offer you something and that’s to always learn from it.
- Raven: Learning that life is more important than anything -- meaning you can have the hair color of the season, the purse of the season, or find out somebody else's business, but if you don't know how to take care of yourself as a person, as a young adult, none of that matters.
- Raven: Don't stress over simple stuff! Everyone makes mistakes. Think of stuff that you CAN do!

- Raven: I have to say acting has one side of my heart and then music has the other side. And if I stop one, I'll have half a heart. I can't live with half a heart, so I like both of them equally.
- Raven: I want to show girls that they can achieve alot in life if they put their minds to it.
- Raven: I feel strongly that girls need to hear that no matter what your body type is--whether it's naturally skinny or naturally thicky-thick--what really matters is who you are, what you believe in, what you stand for and how you treat others.
- Raven: My fans know I love my cheese grits with shrimp, and I'm not giving them up to be a size 2. They know I wear a weave to make my hair look right and I don't always look glamorous all the time. I don't even worry about that type of stuff that much.You're not going to see me with clothes that just let everything hang out. And it's not because of my size, but because it's just not me.
- Raven: I don't let anything over-power me.
- Raven: I think that I do have people that look up to me and watch me on television and see every step that I make. I think it's fabulous and I love it and that's what drives me!
