“I know where I wanna end up. I’m ready to go, and I’m ready to learn. I’m ready to build, and I’m ready to establish my longevity.”

I welcome criticism. I come from a – I wouldn’t say mean, but you’ve got to have tough skin to be in my family.

I’m a huge fan of hot Cheetos. I used to eat them for breakfast.

I get extensions, but when they start to get spotty, I go buy wispy lashes and cut them up. I put them where the gaps are when I don’t have time to get a fill.

My dream is like a child and I’m taking all the custody.

I make music for people to relate to and to connect with me. I want to tap into different emotions.

I’m the type of person where I’ll take on anything because I like to work so much.

I don’t want to be super serious but I want to have fun with my platform. I want to touch people, I want to be relatable and let girls know that you can go to college and still pursue what you want after that.

I don’t jump to conclusions I gracefully fall to them.

I grew up all around the Bay, but I spent most of my time in Hayward and I loved it. It was a really big apartment community, there was a whole bunch of kids.

With a lot of attention comes criticism, but I’ll take that. I’m reaching all the goals I’ve set for myself, so you can’t say anything bad about that.

The experiences I go through, everything you hear in my lyrics is real. Good or bad, I take it all in and put it all on the mic.

I am the investment.

After I graduated, I didn’t have the resources to go to the studio, which is why I then went to social media.

With social media, the gatekeepers are our followers. It has opened so many doors for me not only musically, but fashion-wise as well.

We chose a place all the way at the end of an industrial park.

We have always said there are two ways to resolve Syria, and both will end up with the same result: a Syria without Bashar Assad.

Nearly every one of these – from R2D2 to Hellboy’s revolver – ends with the paint job. And it’s not just cosmetic.

The odds and ends of your mental surplus you carelessly throw at the world, one wants to be at a loss, in a maze; amazed, and amazingly unabashed.

It is important that Bashar leaves in the beginning, not at the end of the process.

The study of mathematics, like the Nile, begins in minuteness but ends in magnificence.

I’m not sure if he’ll end up as the permanent guitar player, but he’s the type of guy who can kind of step in and play anything.

We ought to consider the end in everything.
