“My only way of getting my uncles’ attention or aunts’ attention or whoever’s attention was by dancing and singing around the house.”

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.

My little siblings keep me grounded. I’m a kid at heart.

I love attention. If I see a gang of girls? That makes me dance even more!

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.

Divorce was emotionally traumatic for me. It was the death of a dream. I was in fairytale land, and the reality of it wasn’t so. But I don’t really like talking about it anymore, because it feels like a thousand lifetimes ago, and also it makes me look desperate like I need it for attention.

With a lot of attention comes criticism, but I’ll take that. I’m reaching all the goals I’ve set for myself, so you can’t say anything bad about that.

Often, we use words in a damaging way not because we are bad people but simply because we are not paying attention. No one ever taught us how powerful words really are.

Restore your attention or bring it to a new level by dramatically slowing down whatever you’re doing.

Accidentally consumed five biscuits when I wasn’t paying attention. Those biscuits are wily fellows – they leap in like sugary ninjas.

If You Pay Enough Attention, You Will See That You Are a Complete Life.
