“My mom didn’t let me eat sugar or candy until I was older.”

I think we all do: I think we wonder if we’re supposed to be here if we’re doing the right thing if we even want to be here. At least, I do all the time.

I worry so much. Like, ‘Damn, how can I be excellent?’ But it’s a journey.

Everything I love I over do.

Nothing feels better than switching wigs for no reason.

How many thick black women are there singing whatever I’m singing, surrounded by rappers, but also from the suburbs? I can’t really judge someone else for judging me!

I love cuffing season. It’s a very inspiring season for those who want to be inspired.

I will be feeling morbid and joyful at the same time.

I was born in St. Louis, but I’m from Maplewood, New Jersey. Maplewood is completely different than the rest of New Jersey. It’s very small. It’s quietly affluent but more low-key. Lauryn Hill is from my town, though.

Music is my form of cleansing and introspection, so I have to grow in order to accomplish it. SZA

Every day I pray to see myself the way God and others see me.

Your energy told me what your mouth couldn’t.

I just make music however I feel and pray that it connects, and if it does, I’m super thankful. I think genres are more for other people, not for yourself.

I don’t enjoy being interviewed. I feel like it exhausts a lot of my energy. I feel empty after.

Pain plus love and time = power.

I don’t have a background in music, and I have a short attention span. If you put me in the studio every day, I’m gonna get lost.

People grapple with labeling me as hip-hop, R&B, or pop, and it’s interesting to me. I’m just making music.

I just love photographing food more than eating it.

Fishes live in the sea, as men do on land: the great ones eat up the little ones.

I always say, ‘Eat clean to stay fit; have a burger to stay sane.’

I eat a lot of pizza and really unhealthy food.

It was kind of boring for me to have to eat. I would know that I had to, and I would.

We should look for someone to eat and drink with before looking for something to eat and drink…

To eat and drink without a friend is to devour like the lion and the wolf.

I was not created to be occupied by eating delicious foods like tied up cattle.
