“I get a bit insecure if I feel like there’s too much makeup on my face or if I feel like I’m cakey.”

My heart goes out to everyone as we see the end of this year and as we anticipate the new one. We’re in this together.

For a female artist, it takes a lot more to be taken seriously if you’re not sat down at a piano or with a guitar, you know?

It’s all fun and games until your shoe strap falls down.

I think the artists are really the face of the music they make. It’s no longer the genre that dictates it.

I’m so obsessed with Cardi B. I do nothing but sit and watch her Instagram videos.

If I wasn’t a singer, I would be a fairy princess.

If you see a fairy tell her I called.

For me, my aim is to just be as good as possible. If people do look up at me I have to set the best example I can.

My goal is to get my music out to as many people as possible. That a song of mine is being played on the radio so far away from home really, really pushes me. It’s everything I’ve dreamed of.

My gang sign is the love heart.

I’m learning to accept myself. I’m still in the process of learning to love who I am.

Social media can sometimes influence the charts, but I think that only great music makes it to the top. The good songs make it.

I’ll bring you flowers in the pouring rain.

I still take a lot of pride in being able to write my own songs. My story’s coming from me.

Success, to me, is just doing things I’m really proud of.

I love Pink and Nelly Furtado – the honesty and truth in their lyrics. I also love Kendrick Lamar and Chance the Rapper.

Only when I was singing did I feel loved.

My experience of singing, as an actor, was that there’s a different creative feeling of freedom. The acting thing is a bit more defined and cerebral. I can see why people would want to cross over. If you have so much freedom on stage then perhaps you want to be confined a bit, and vice versa.

Just watch this moment, without trying to change it at all. What is happening? What do you feel? What do you see? What do you hear?

I want a love that as deep as it feels, it breathes just as free.

I felt it better to speak to God than about Him.

I’m the type who’d rather not work than work on something I’m not into. I’ve done that a couple of times, and I feel like I can totally see it in my performance.

Feelings like disappointment, embarrassment, irritation, resentment, anger, jealousy, and fear, instead of being bad news, are actually very clear moments that teach us where it is that we’re holding back.

And when it feels too heavy to go on being you, lose a bit of yourself in me.
