“When I was doing all this acting stuff, all these kids, like, assumed, ‘Oh, my God, you’re on TV, and you probably have a lot of money.’ And I was living in a garage.”

My parents are high school sweethearts.

It’s really easy with makeup to look like you’re trying too hard, like a clown. That’s not what you want!

I still live in Inglewood and have a great relationship with my Mexican family.

Being a teenager, it’s so hard to find foundation that’s good for your skin for everyday wear.

My grandparents don’t really listen to pop music, and they only speak Spanish and only listen to Spanish music.

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.

Music was my one way to vent.

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.

A living thing is distinguished from a dead thing by the multiplicity of the changes at any moment taking place in it.

All men are tempted. There is no man that lives that can’t be broken down, provided it is the right temptation, put in the right spot.

What we truly desire is living without desire.

I have lived my life, and I have fought my battles, not against the weak and the poor – anybody can do that – but against power, against injustice, against oppression, and I have asked no odds from them, and I never shall.

There’s a phrase we live by in America: “In God We Trust”. It’s right there where Jesus would want it: on our money.

He wants to live on through something-and in his case, his masterpiece is his son. all of us want that, and it gets more poignant as we get more anonymous in this world.

There’s things people say in the barbershop they won’t even say in their own living room, because it’s just one of those zones where nobody’s going to judge you too much about your dumb opinion.

Every people has a right to choose the sovereignty under which they shall live.
