“When you look at me, you can’t really tell what I am, but I’m black, white, Native, Spanish, and a little bit of Filipino.”

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.

Love is sight, sight is love. Stay where you’re seen, it’s where you’re loved.

I always wanted to date me.

There is nothing I would trade in this world for being a mommy.

Me being so open just helps other people. People feel like they know me so much that they can talk to me all of the time about really personal things. Sometimes it’s really nice and comforting. It depends on the person, whether they’re creepy or not.

I hang out with the right people, my friends that I’ve had since the beginning. We go to the beach, take walks, paint, see our family – just normal things that people who become famous lose sight of.

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.

My pops passed when I was little. I didn’t have a dad around to tell me certain things. I didn’t have my biological mother.

God’s love for you isn’t based on your performance, its based on your identity.

I don’t know how tall I am or how much I weigh. Because I don’t want anybody to know my identity. I’m like a superhero. Call me Basketball Man.

I feel when somebody has been playing cricket for a long time, he creates a separate identity for himself.

What are friends ? Friends are people that you think are your friends but they really your enemies, with secret indentities.

Taxes are the source of life for the bureaucracy, the army and the court, in short, for the whole apparatus of the executive power. Strong government and heavy taxes are identical.

The only way we’ll get freedom for ourselves is to identify ourselves with every oppressed people in the world.

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.

Any real change implies the breakup of the world as one has always known it, the loss of all that gave one an identity, the end of safety.
