“Music was my one way to vent.”

I don’t know if it’s because I’m Latina or something, but I have no problem speaking my mind.

Latina’ has become part of the Becky G family, and I feel very proud to say that.

I’ll eat anything. I love food in general. I love traditional Mexican, carne asada. Just meat, beans, rice, and some good salsa.

Sometimes I’ll post goofy photos of myself on Instagram without make-up or making silly faces. I don’t always look like a little Barbie doll.

This is kind of weird, but I eat lemons with salt as snack. They’re so good!

I’m not going to be doing anything to hurt myself or my fans.

I want to be open to the kids who only speak Spanish, the kids who speak only Spanglish, and the kids who don’t even speak Spanish at all.

I really have a passion for food. Of course, music, but behind that, it’s food.

When I get out of work early, or if I have some time before I go into the studio, I go to Disneyland for a few hours with my siblings. We just have fun, go on all the rides together, and eat all of the good food.

I wrote ‘Wish U Were Here’ for Cody Simpson, and he invited me to perform with him on tour and be in his music video. He was shy at first. I think it’s the surfer boy in him that makes him so mellow.

Working with Bruno Mars would be really awesome. I’m such a fan of his, and I love that he’s a real artist.

I feel like a little beast when I’m onstage, and I feel like my fans have that little beast inside of them, too: this hunger for life.

There are days I’m feeling lazy, and my mom will remind me, ‘Beyonce also only has 24 hours during the day.’ That always keeps me going.

My little siblings keep me grounded. I’m a kid at heart.

I wrote ‘Oath’ for Cher Lloyd because there were really no best-friend anthems out there. Not only did she love it, she wanted me to rap on it, too!

For my everyday look, I don’t like going anywhere without eye makeup.

I have a hard time writing music when I’m on tour.

Music has healing power. It has the ability to take people out of themselves for a few hours.

Everybody always going to sound like somebody. You got to separate yourself.

I belong to the givers. I want to give a little happiness even if I haven’t had much for myself. Music has enriched my life and, hopefully – through me, a little – the public’s. If anyone left an opera house feeling more happy and at peace, I achieved my purpose.

Lyrics are coming to you all the time. I get inspiration in the middle of the night.

When music fails to agree to the ear, to soothe the ear and the heart and the senses, then it has missed the point.

There’s always haters, no matter what you’re doing – whether they’re complaining that everything you do sounds the same, or it’s too different.

Boomerang’ is all about coming back from the hate and not listening to the hate. It really tells a message.
