“Whenever it feels uncomfortable to tell the truth, that’s often the most important time to tell it.”

I have the stardom glow.

For me, fashion is an expression of who I am right in that moment – so what you’re seeing is what I’m influenced by now.

No matter where I go I know where I came from.

There are certain people that are marked for death. I have my little list of those that treated me unfairly.

This is the man my mother lived for. My career means something now because I’ve worked with Robert Redford.

Sometimes you have to explore the darkness to get to the light and get back to who you are.

The minute I feel nervousness or anxiety or fear, I go, ‘No, no, that’s not a thought that I need to have right now. Everything’s great, everything’s good, you’re going to be fine’.

Things don’t always turn out exactly the way you want them to be and you feel disappointed. You are not always going to be the winner. That’s when you have to stop and figure out why things happened the way they did and what you can do to change them.

You can’t let the fear of what people might say or think stop you from doing what you want to do or else we would never do anything.

I don’t really check out other people’s butts.

Women should never go without earrings. Passing on them is an opportunity missed.

I think the best partner you can have is someone who makes you want to be the best form of yourself.

Love to me is someone telling me, ‘I want to be with you for the rest of my life, and if you needed me to I’d jump out of a plane for you.’

You can’t take life for granted.

I’m very comfortable with being productive. I like doing things, and I like creating things. As far as being powerful, I guess I’m comfortable with it. It’s not really how I think of myself.

Doubt is a killer. You just have to know who you are and what you stand for.

it is no small comfort to me to know that God has called me to my work, putting me where I am and as I am. I have not sought the position, and I dare not leave it. He knows why He places me here-whether to do, or learn, or suffer.

I still love the skinny jeans thing and I wear my favorite leather jacket constantly. I like being kind of a rock star. I love that I can feel comfortable in a small dress or I can feel comfortable wearing a baggy T-shirt.

As the CEO running my life, running Meghan Trainor, I have to say ‘no’ to things all the time, and it’s been very uncomfortable and very difficult. I’ve said ‘no’ and it’s actually worked – even when I never thought it would work.

If you are always allowed to stop training whenever you feel discomfort, you will find it too easy to give yourself permission to quit.

God affords no man the comfort, the false comfort of Atheism: He will not allow a pretending Atheist the power to flatter himself, so far, as to seriously think there is no God.

Feeling more comfortable onstage is something I’ve worked on – it’s really about just being the artist I am.

I want art to make me think. In order to do that, it may piss me off, or make me uncomfortable. That promotes awareness and change, or at least some discussion.

I prefer to live in a rented house. No ties. Nothing around my neck. Just the minimum kind of bare comforts of home.
