“Love my small team, proud of our sweet beginnings, every step feels so rewarding.”

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.

Motherhood, building character one day at a time.

My brain kind of works in steps. I have to go through things and then process them and then write about them. I have to understand them first.

We should begin at the very root from which we spring, we should effect a radical reform in the character of the food.

Happiness and freedom begin with a clear understanding of one principle.

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

Peace begins with a smile.

Take care with the end as you do with the beginning.

The moment we begin to seek love, love begins to seek us. And to save us.

Thanks to my fans that have been with me from the beginning, I was able to sell out arenas on my own.

Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.
