“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?”

Pocket full of honey and I’m ready to go.

Every time you achieve something, you want to go after what’s next. I’d like to see my own shows grow and someday be a headliner, fill up stadiums.

If you got a candle – blow it and various other random things.

Redbone’ from Childish Gambino – that is my ideal summer tune. It’s already gone and done its thing, but I want it to live on forever.

I’d love to work with Drake; I’d love to work with Frank Ocean, Jay Z, and Kanye. The list is endless. Dua Lipa

Everything that I do is very autobiographical. I’m trying to be as much of an open book as possible and give the audience every single piece of me.

I know the guac is extra.

Nothing sweeter than 365 days joint at the hip with you.

When I think of artists I love, like J. Cole, it’s the storytelling that grabs me. I want to be honest with my music. Dua Lipa

Live and direct.

I like how powerful fashion makes me feel. I live for that grungy-prissy juxtaposition that Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, and Drew Barrymore wore in the ’90s.

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.

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

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.

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

The successful construction of all machinery depends on the perfection of the tools employed; and whoever is a master in the arts of tool-making possesses the key to the construction of all machines… The contrivance and construction of tools must therefore ever stand at the head of the industrial arts.

The species and the genus are always the work of nature [i.e. specially created]; the variety mostly that of circumstance; the class and the order are the work of nature and art.

It is impossible to make a clear cut between science, religion, and art. The whole is never equal simply to the sum of its various parts.

My goal is to be one with the music. I just dedicate my whole life to this art.

Art is not a pastime but a priesthood.

I just love music. I think it’s art.

The trout in yonder wimpling burn – That glides, a silver dart, – And, safe beneath the shady thorn, – Defies the anglers art.

A work of art is not a matter of thinking beautiful thoughts or experiencing tender emotions , but of intelligence, skill, taste, proportion, knowledge, discipline and industry; especially discipline.
