“Art is the colors and textures of your imagination.”

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.

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.’

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.

We’ve shared so much laughter, so many tears. We’re a spiritual bond that grows stronger each year. We’re not sisters by birth, but we knew from the start, something put us together to be sisters by heart.

I don’t consider myself a feminist, but I’m down for my first opportunity to say something to the world to be so meaningful. If you asked me, ‘What do you want to say?’ it would be, ‘Love yourself more.’

I am a makeup artist; I make up the world to look better to me.

The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery.

In art, it is hard to say anything as good as saying nothing.

Out of the cacophony of random suffering and chaos that can mark human life, the life artist sees or creates a symphony of meaning and order.

The more I write about us, the more our love feels like art.

Some thunders are meant to mould your heart into art.

Art is what keeps humans, human.

No arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear and danger of violent death; and the life of man solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.
