Cookie Lyon's Best Quotes from Empire's Season 2

Image: Facebook/Empire

If Empire has taught us anything, it’s that you don’t want to mess with Cookie Lyon. Taraji P. Henson’s ultra-glam character has come a long way since we first met her in season one, going from a just-released jailbird to a respected hip-hop powerhouse in her own right. Sure, Cookie has faced a few bumps along the way—both professionally and personally—but one thing has remained constant: She’s never lost sight of her badass self. The drama wraps its second season tonight at 9 p.m. ET on Fox, and you can bet that Cookie will have some memorable one-liners up her fur-trimmed sleeve. Before tuning in, scroll down for 16 of her fiercest quotes from season two.
