“Everyone thinks their mom is a superhero, and l feel like I want to be just like my mom. A superhero. She’s a very strong lady.”

All I can do is take influences from where I was raised.

The best thing Jay-Z ever taught me was patience.

Beyoncé built her f–king foundation from the bottom. I think that’s the exact career every female artist wants to have.

For me, music comes naturally. I always just get in the studio and I feel like, wow, this is my heaven.

I’m often mistaken for Spanish or Latin descent.

I think I’ve always been fine on stage – though I get nervous beforehand. But once I’m on stage, all of that goes out of the window.

The public’s not stupid.

Every person has a signature. Just some people don’t know it yet.

The worst thing is when a guy just looks awkward. It’s not attractive.

I love sharing my life with my followers. Hopefully, they are following me because they genuinely want to know me. It’s a way to connect with fans that wasn’t available just a few years ago.

True beauty is knowing who you are and believing in yourself. Happy people know their purpose, have courage to fight for it and strength to keep going.

I’m not going to have a baby until I’m around 30 something.

Clothes are fun. The designers have so much fun making them, you should have fun wearing them, too.

I am committed to glamour.

Stand naked in front of the mirror and say, ‘I’m f–king sexy.’ That’s where it starts.

It’s nice to always make an effort when you get photographed.

Don’t feel sorry for yourself. Only assholes do that.

Positive feeling helps you keep an optimistic outlook through difficult situations.

I feel beautiful without makeup on, but when I do put makeup on, it just gives me this extra pop.

Be so dedicated to yourself that everyone feels good to be themselves too.

When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary.

It felt so good to speak with someone who could feel and relate to everything.

In nine cases out of ten, a woman had better show more affection than she feels.

Music is energy. A mood, atmosphere. Feeling.
