“My tattoos have become a part of me. When I look in the mirror, I just see my face.”

People understand my message is positive, and at the end of the day, I’m just here to make music that I enjoy and that other people enjoy. I think that’s why I have such a loyal fan base.

I have a weird definition of family; it’s not the same as everyone else’s.

I go as hard as I can when I’m anxiety-free.

I’m surrounded by good people, and I surround myself with good people.

I always make music as an art – it’s never been a product for me.

Everybody who cares about me wants me to do therapy, but I just can’t do therapy.

Music makes me cry.

I’ve had my heart broken in a lot of different ways a lot of different times by different people.

I want to go deep into fashion; I want to go maybe into acting. There’s a lot of stuff I would like to go into.

I help my friends out when they need it. I’m extremely generous.

Music is the only thing keeping the peace when I’m falling into pieces.

I do what I want, when I want.

Future is gonna be remembered forever. Future just has so much quality music.

People always say that, like, you’re a dog person or a cat person. I just love animals. I’m not a dog person or a cat person.

Sometimes I’ll be watching a movie then think to myself that I could do a better job.

I grew up listening to a lot of emo music, a lot of rock music, a lot of rap music, a lot of trap music, funk, everything.

Having grown up in a segregated environment in the south I know what it’s like to be stepped on, I know what it’s like also to see some black hero do well in the face of adversity.

Seven out of 10 black faces you see on television are athletes. The black athlete carries the image of the black community. He carries the cross, in a way, until blacks make inroads in other dimensions.

While you’re saving your face, you’re losing your ass.

I’ve had a fan who made a painting of my face with her fingers. I have put it up in my room. It was sweet and very different.

Forever dreaming of a faraway place, where the sun melts my sorrows and blows kisses on my face.

I don`t want to dress up a picture with just my face.

Unity must be of the mind and heart, a sense of belonging together and of facing together those who attack it.

As a young black woman, I notice at times in the mainstream media framing of the ‘me too’ movement you see a white female face or a white male face, and that type of questioning and interrogation needs to happen.
