“I naturally want to be provocative.”

My management team are all women. Most of the people at labels I liaise with are all women. It’s pretty much all women all the time.

I love musk oil. There’s something about musk that makes it memorable without being overpowering.

No one can break me down. I know my worth and its a beautiful thing.

Once you go great, you never go good..You never go back, even if you could.

T.I.’s my mentor; he’s a really close friend of mine. I call him my brother like we talk on the phone all the time. He’s helped me with my career.

Being talked about like a package – I feel like that all the time.

Not every artist is a role model.

For me, visuals are as important as the music. I just love escapism and giving people something to escape to. To me, that’s what art is.

Pledge allegiance to the struggle.

I’m irrational about all things creative and I’m always late!

Women in music have the bigger balls anyhow we endure much more harassment and critic.

First things first, I’m da realest.

My real name is Amethyst. It sounds like a stage name. My mom is kind of crazy.

As a child, I remember my dad would sometimes drive me into town with him to play pinball machines together. It’s a bittersweet memory but also a favorite.

I love purple because my name is Amethyst.

I found it to be kind of ironic, because I’m white, therefore I’m appropriating culture, but then Eminem won it – who’s white and won it many times – and they didn’t seem to say anything about that. I suspect it was just because they dislike me.

Tough times are inevitable in life and in business. But how you compose yourself during those times defines your spirit and will define your future.

I can alter my life by altering my attitude. He who would have nothing to do with thorns must never attempt to gather flowers.

There is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.

Other people’s views and troubles can be contagious. Don’t sabotage yourself by unwittingly adopting negative, unproductive attitudes through your associations with others.

Be yourself; no base imitator of another, but your best self.

They say they want heaven; They say they want god. I say I have heaven, I say I am god.

Quote me as saying I was mis-quoted.

Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will.
