“My biggest role model right now is Beyonce, just ’cause she is a very, very strong, powerful woman, and that’s obviously the number one reason to be inspired by her. She is just killing every game there is to kill.”

Success to me is only two things: happiness and stability.

I just remember falling in love with the old Chris Brown music, where it was, like, that real R&B, and I love the radio smashes he’s put out since then, but I go back to his older music for that R&B.

There’s girls that grew up like me and even worse, and they need to know that there is someone out there that can give them hope with my music. It’s about inspiring people and helping people.

I ain’t the passenger I’m the pilot.

Choose yourself or lose yourself.

Love is sight, sight is love. Stay where you’re seen, it’s where you’re loved.

I always wanted to date me.

There is nothing I would trade in this world for being a mommy.

Me being so open just helps other people. People feel like they know me so much that they can talk to me all of the time about really personal things. Sometimes it’s really nice and comforting. It depends on the person, whether they’re creepy or not.

I hang out with the right people, my friends that I’ve had since the beginning. We go to the beach, take walks, paint, see our family – just normal things that people who become famous lose sight of.

As far as creation goes, you just really have to not overthink and just create and be confident. If you think it’s tight, then the world is going to think it’s tight.

When you look at me, you can’t really tell what I am, but I’m black, white, Native, Spanish, and a little bit of Filipino.

My pops passed when I was little. I didn’t have a dad around to tell me certain things. I didn’t have my biological mother.

If my eyebrows are cool, if my eyeliner is popping, if I’m moisturized, then I can pretty much wear whatever I want. I think if your hair and your face are together, I think it’s pretty much polished!.

Vocally, I’m always listening to Brandy. As a writer, I’m always listening to India Arie and Drake.

You are anything but conventional, baby, did ya know?

The first step in the elevation of women under all systems of religion is to convince them that the great Spirit of the Universe is in no way responsible for any of these absurdities.

If you can’t go straight ahead, you go around the corner.

She’s a child of war. Stronger than a bomb with a lioness’s roar.

When you stand and share your story in an empowering way, your story will heal you and your story will heal somebody else.

The success of every woman should be the inspiration to another. We should raise each other up. Make sure you’re very courageous: be strong, be extremely kind, and above all be humble.

In the future, there will be no female leaders. There will just be leaders.

Fireworks feel different when the fire lives within.

Your willingness to look at your darkness is what empowers you to change.
