“People may not know this about me, but I’ve always loved cooking. My favorite thing to cook is my mom’s spicy spaghetti.”

Being a teenager, it’s so hard to find foundation that’s good for your skin for everyday wear.

My grandparents don’t really listen to pop music, and they only speak Spanish and only listen to Spanish music.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m Latina or something, but I have no problem speaking my mind.

Latina’ has become part of the Becky G family, and I feel very proud to say that.

I’ll eat anything. I love food in general. I love traditional Mexican, carne asada. Just meat, beans, rice, and some good salsa.

Sometimes I’ll post goofy photos of myself on Instagram without make-up or making silly faces. I don’t always look like a little Barbie doll.

This is kind of weird, but I eat lemons with salt as snack. They’re so good!

I’m not going to be doing anything to hurt myself or my fans.

Music was my one way to vent.

I want to be open to the kids who only speak Spanish, the kids who speak only Spanglish, and the kids who don’t even speak Spanish at all.

I really have a passion for food. Of course, music, but behind that, it’s food.

When I get out of work early, or if I have some time before I go into the studio, I go to Disneyland for a few hours with my siblings. We just have fun, go on all the rides together, and eat all of the good food.

I wrote ‘Wish U Were Here’ for Cody Simpson, and he invited me to perform with him on tour and be in his music video. He was shy at first. I think it’s the surfer boy in him that makes him so mellow.

Working with Bruno Mars would be really awesome. I’m such a fan of his, and I love that he’s a real artist.

I feel like a little beast when I’m onstage, and I feel like my fans have that little beast inside of them, too: this hunger for life.

There are days I’m feeling lazy, and my mom will remind me, ‘Beyonce also only has 24 hours during the day.’ That always keeps me going.

The spiritually starving hesitate to partake of the Spirit like a child’s reaction to new and strange food. They must be offered a tiny bite on a spoon.

Cook ingredients that you are used to cooking by other techniques, such as fish, chicken, or hamburgers. In other words be comfortable with the ingredients you are using.

Winning is very tangible, it’s very exciting, it’s very pleasing, but it’s momentary. If you can do things that last, that each generation can build upon, then that’s when you’re cooking.

Most sailing ships take what they call trainees, who pay to be part of the crew. The Picton Castle takes people who are absolutely raw recruits. But you can’t just ride along.

Alcohol may pick you up a little bit, but it lets you down in a hurry.

If we don’t watch out, the pleasure o be gained from the discriminating enjoyment of food will be lost. It may not be long before the art of fine cooking is viewed as the invention of a handful of snobs. . . .

Proust had his madeleines; I am devastated by the scent of yeast bread rising.

Grub first, then ethics.
