“I definitely get inspiration from the ‘gram. I mean, Instagram is Google, essentially. I love looking at pictures of beautiful women.”

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.

Don’t get discouraged with your skin when it doesn’t do what you want it to do, Give it some time. That’s the only way to get to know yourself.

I think music is honest and will make you do honest things.

I’m very into details, so I watch movies just for the details.

I don’t think I’m inherently feminist. I think the universe wants me to be a feminist, and I think I resonate with that. I think it just chose me to be this female energy, thing. And I’m very drawn to female energy, but I don’t really have any prerequisites in feminism. I just roll with it.

When your parents regulate everything you hear and everything you intake, it forces you to get creative in other ways. It sparked the writing bug and the very overactive imagination. Because I’ve had a lot of time by myself and a lot of time isolated from regular culture, I created my own.

Every day I grapple between ‘I’m going to get married’ and ‘I’m going to spend the rest of my life alone with a poodle.’

I went through this phase of Spandex, high heels, and fur coats when I was in my late teens and early twenties; before then, I lived in overalls and baggy T-shirts.

No one sets an impossible beauty standard like ya own mama lmao.

On Halloween, because we don’t celebrate it, my dad would drive me somewhere, anywhere different. Like Little Italy in New York to walk around and teach me all about the food and culture.

As long as you’re being honest and there’s the intention in what you’re doing, then I think that energy permeates your field and becomes like a homing signal for other people with like energies.

It’s so hard for me to focus on things for a long time that I’m not incredibly passionate about.

The beautiful thing about encouragement is that anybody can do it.

I can never stop admiring how beautifully God has created everything around us, and how well synchronized everything is.

Education is the best friend. An educated person is respected everywhere. Education beats the beauty and the youth.

Like beauty, stardom too is skin-deep.

Stuff your eyes with wonder, live as if you’d drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It’s more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.

The less people know about you, the more you understand how beautiful life is. It’s good when you exist only on screen. I don’t want them to take me home. I love to have my privacy.

Laughter is the most beautiful and beneficial therapy God ever granted humanity.

It’s really beautiful how happiness always finds its way to you!
