“I was an only child so, at home, I’m turnt up by myself, doing whatever I wanna do.”

I don’t feel like I’m in competition with anybody. If I’m worried about beating somebody else, I’m not going to be the best version of myself. It shouldn’t be a competition because somebody else winning is not going to make me lose.

I knew I wanted to be a rapper when I was, like, 5.

I don’t really feel like I done made it all the way. I feel like, ‘OK, we did this. Then we grinded enough to get to this point. Now we gotta grind enough to get bigger and bigger,’ you know?

That’s what I feel like my music represents, having no limits or restrictions.

When I was little, I wanted to be a plastic surgeon.

I don’t feel like my sound is similar to any female artist that’s out right now, so I definitely feel like we just need some Texas flavor.

I’ve been writing since I was maybe seven.

I’ma just rap and do me.

Me and Kehlani have music together, and I love her.

Since you wanna test them waters, might as well jump in with both feet.

Just to know that the people in my city are really rocking with me, I just love it.

I definitely feel like people in the South are a little more raw. Our whole swag, the way we talk, When I go to the East Coast, people automatically know I’m not from there.

Girls, we have to go 10 times harder than guys. We are still expected to give you the bars, give you the look, give you the routine. This is me – I wanna be a rapper, this is it.

Grind together and shine together.

He probably thinkin’ I’m in pain, but I’m really on game.

Houston is a place where you have to be the best. Everybody gotta be flashy, flashy. It’s not like a gaudy thing, but people definitely put on their best dressed even if they go into Wal-Mart.

Gratitude is really, really attractive. A child who is genuinely grateful makes you want to do anything for her, and that is true of adults as well.

We need to let our children grow up to face the world armed with knowledge, with much more knowledge than we ourselves had at their age. It is scary, but the alternative is worse.

I would have been a terrible mother because I’m basically a very selfish human being. Not that that has stopped most people going off and having children.

I just ultimately wanted to be a mother. I love children.

I believe we should encourage children to sing and play instruments from an early age.

Acting is a nice childish profession – pretending you’re someone else and, at the same time, selling yourself.

A child raised on a desert island, alone, without social interaction, without language, and thus lacking empathy, is still a sentient being.

Beware of letting small faults pass unnoticed under the idea it is a little one. There are no little things in training children; all are important. Little weeds need plucking up as much as any. Leave them alone and they will soon be great.
