“Beyonce and Rihanna Dance really cool.”

There are people who are afraid of successful women, and that’s so lame.

When I write, I try to become different characters.

I think of most songs that way – if you can’t dance to a song, it’s not a song.

I don’t want people at my shows to come out and say, ‘I just saw a cool show.’ I want them to say, ‘I had fun at the show.’

The word ‘artist’ means so many different things, and I feel like to be a real one, you really have to do it all.

It’s rare for anyone to value the opinions of a teenage girl.

I work with my brother Finneas, and he produces all of my music in his little bedroom in our house.

I’ve always been a singer. I never really decided I was gonna be a singer. It just kind of – I just sung a lot.

I go through a lot of depression, and I know other people do, too, but I have an outlet that so many people don’t.

If I love you was a promise, would you break it if you’re honest?

What inspires me about rap is that it’s written in an almost poetic way. I just think it’s so cool.

I don’t belong to anyone, but everybody knows my name.

I Love Fashion.

I’m only good at being bad.

When I do have free time, I spend it with friends, or I spend it at home writing or making something.

I’m not going to say I’m cool, because I don’t really feel that. I just don’t care at all, and I guess that’s what people think is cool.

All dancing is a replacement for sex.

Obviously I always wanted to do a contemporary piece.

It’s what I always wanted to do, to show the laughter, the fun, the joy of dance.

Dance is communication, and so the great challenge is to speak clearly, beautifully and with inevitability.

The next time you look into the mirror, just look at the way the ears rest next to the head; look at the way the hairline grows; think of all the little bones in your wrist. It is a miracle. And the dance is a celebration of that miracle.

The reason dance has held such an ageless magic for the world is that it has been the symbol of the performance of living.

Modern dance isn’t anything except one thing in my mind: the freedom of women in America.

My dancing is not an attempt to interpret life in the literary sense. It is an affirmation of life through movement.
