“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.”

New flame, I’m blowin out matches.

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.

I used to think that love was giving up everything of yourself and giving it to the other person. Now, I’ve realized that love is when you have somebody that doesn’t make you give up half of yourself.

My lyrics are a complete 180 from what they used to be in terms of maturity. And I have a kid, so that changes everything.

I really hate finding out people that show love really be talking crazy behind the scenes. Bitch buck up and hate me with your chest.

I write most of my songs to beats. I play around on guitar, but not enough to where I can compose my own stuff or play solos. Can accompany myself cause most songs are, like, four chords.

I’m a healthy eater, but I don’t consider Chick-fil-A fast food.

I think most people don’t know that I really write everything myself. No help. There’s nobody in the studio except for me and the engineer. A lot of people don’t think I’m a singer. They think I’m a rapper.

Make-up sex, as treacherous as it can be, becomes this fun and playful thing versus this really intense thing. To me the song feels playful.

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.

My favorite person that I had been running everything by doesn’t even make music, but he is a genius. It’s Kerby [Jean-Raymond] from Pyer Moss. -Kehlani

Success to me is only two things: happiness and stability.

I just remember falling in love with the old Chris Brown music, where it was, like, that real R&B, and I love the radio smashes he’s put out since then, but I go back to his older music for that R&B.

There’s girls that grew up like me and even worse, and they need to know that there is someone out there that can give them hope with my music. It’s about inspiring people and helping people.

I ain’t the passenger I’m the pilot.

Choose yourself or lose yourself.

The world does not understand theology or dogma, but it understands love and sympathy.

You have to do stuff that average people don’t understand because those are the only good things.

My eyes were finally opened and I understood nature. I learned at the same time to love it.

The point is not to completely understand God but to worship Him. Let the very fact that you cannot know Him fully lead you to praise Him for His infiniteness and grandeur.

Logic: The art of thinking and reasoning in strict accordance with the limitations and incapacities of the human misunderstanding.

It took me time to understand my water lilies. I had planted them for the pleasure of it; I grew them without ever thinking of painting them.

When I work I forget all the rest.

People will not understand your journey. Walk it anyway. Sometimes crazy looks a awful lot like faith.
