“I think I’m speaking for a bunch of girls when I say that the idea that feminism is completely natural and shouldn’t even be something that people find mildly surprising. It’s just a part of being a girl in 2013.”

We’re bigger than we ever dreamed, and I’m in love with being queen.

It feels so scary getting old.

Don’t let some random comment that you wouldn’t have even thought about overshadow something important that you were actually trying to say.

The way I dress and carry myself, a lot of people find it intimidating. I think my whole career can be boiled down to the one word I always say in meetings: strength.

I’ve totally learned in this process that 99% of the time, your gut is right, and you know what’s right for you. I know exactly what’s right for my career and for my art, and sometimes, even if the whole room is saying, ‘Don’t do that, don’t do that,’ you know that doing that is going to be good for you, in the long run.

Like wildflowers you must allow yourself to grow in all the places people thought you never would.

Don’t be afraid. Be the kind of person your mother warned you about.

Two things to remember in life: take care of your thoughts when you are alone, and take are of your words when you are with people.

The smarter the person, the more boring the instagram account.

People have told me that Ive helped them feel confident, like they can say things they want to say. They can talk about feminism in class without people calling them a lesbian. Thats so amazing that I can make someone feel like that.

I do not need someone to complete me, but if you wanted to, we could walk next to each other into whatever is coming next.

David Bowie told me my music sounds like tomorrow

We’re so happy, even when we’re smiling out of fear.

Everyone’s competing for a love they won’t receive.

I love thrift shopping. You can get ten things because everything costs, like, three dollars.

Of course I got lipstick all over my lil’ nose in about 5 seconds, nothing’s changed.

I think if I was girl, I’d probably have a crush on Zayn. Just look at him. He’s just pretty, isn’t he? His cheekbones.

I like girls who have two eyes.

I think the girl who is able to earn her own living and pay her own way should be as happy as anybody on earth. The sense of independence and security is very sweet.

My personal style is a mixture of, like, girly, throwback, like retro ’50s pin-ups, floral, like hippies, like anything feminine, and like flirty.

I think it’s so important for girls to love themselves and to treat their bodies respectfully.

It’s a good thing I was born a girl, otherwise I’d be a drag queen.

Sometimes you look back at girls you spent money on rather than send it to your mum and you realise witchcraft is real.

A good since of humor and someone who is loyal and cute-I like cute girls.
