I'm often painted as the bad guy, and the artistic part of me wants to hand out the brush.

About This Quote

Missy Elliott is one of the most talented artists in the music industry. She has created countless hits for herself and others, but she’s not always portrayed as a positive role model. She has had several run-ins with the law, including being arrested for assault, battery, and drug possession. Her legal troubles have made her seem like an enemy rather than someone who deserves our respect.

However, what Missy Elliott is really telling us is that she wants to be the good guy, not the bad guy. She wants to be the artist who paints a picture of love and peace.
