“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?

I think, as musicians, our music should be who we are. Sometimes it’s not – it’s someone else’s. All heartfelt music and all honest music, it’s who we are. Of course, our upbringing has everything to do with it.

Focused on fire. Bringing the heat.

I’ve always been a very young person with a very old soul.

Sometimes I make songs about girls, and I say ‘he,’ or I’ll make songs about guys, and I say ‘she,’ or sometimes they’re exactly what they’re about. I feel like it just allows me to get a lot more perspective.

I have played cricket on my own terms.

People can open doors for you, but you must walk through.

Tell these girls they don’t need men to feel like woman.

The most dangerous woman of all is the one who refuses to rely on your sword to save her because she carries her own.

Believe in miracles but don’t depend on them.

I’m an independent woman and a feminist.

Charity is injurious unless it helps the recipient to become independent of it.

Dear self, Even on your worst days, you are okay.
