“As the CEO running my life, running Meghan Trainor, I have to say ‘no’ to things all the time, and it’s been very uncomfortable and very difficult. I’ve said ‘no’ and it’s actually worked – even when I never thought it would work.”

Owning your curves means being confident – actually being confident – in your own skin.

There’s a lot of power in the word ‘no,’ and a lot of people, like myself, need to know that.

Everybody’s born to be different, that’s the one thing that makes us the same.

Owning your curves means being confident – actually being confident – in your own skin. Growing up was tricky for me, it was so hard to shop with all of my friends and not being able to fit into the tiny clothes they were wearing.

Now that I’m famous, guys don’t hit on me.

I want to be better at being single, and I want to be better at feeling okay about being single. I don’t need a boyfriend.

Art is the colors and textures of your imagination.

Every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top. My mama, she told me don’t worry about your size. She says boys like a little more booty to hold at night. Yeah I won’t be no stick figure silicone Barbie doll, so if that’s what you’re into then go ahead and move along.

When I got famous, all of a sudden guys wouldn’t look at me. Period. So I felt a little sad, a little frustrated. Like, What’s going on here? I’ve never been prettier in my life and I’m so cool and successful.

Boys like a little more booty to hold at night.

I tried to go anorexic for a good three hours. I ate ice and celery, but that’s not even anorexic. And I quit. I was like, ‘Ma, can you make me a sandwich? Like, immediately.’

So let’s take our time to say what we want. Use what we got before it’s all gone.

I didn’t know fashion or any of that until the label gave me a stylist.

You know I won’t be no stick-figure, silicone Barbie doll.

If you got beauty, beauty, just raise em up. Cause every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top.

If you asked me, ‘What do you want to say?’ it would be, ‘Love yourself more.’

Basketball sneakers are for people who want to be comfortable. I rather be uncomfortable and just look nice.

I tend to go with a daytime look, pretty natural, but I always fill in my eyebrows – I hate if I leave the gym and my eyebrows aren’t done; I’m just very uncomfortable with myself.

I don’t feel comfortable without certain things. I always want some money in my pocket to do whatever I want. Even if it’s something like I want to eat food that costs more than what I got.

Help mystery be at home in me. (even if uncomfortably)

Not everything that bothers us is a problem, not everything that comforts us is the solution.

The most human thing we can do is comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.

I am very comfortable travelling and going into other territories.

In Chicago, you know you got beef with everybody. In Atlanta, you’re chilling, but you don’t get too comfortable. Like, if I go to the store, it’s not like anybody’s gonna come out shooting at me.
