“Especially as an artist, the creative freedom we have makes us who we are. We’re human beings-we’re gonna mess up sometimes. I definitely feel like people should continue being who they are. As long as you’re staying true to who you are, that’s super important.”

Around the time that I was in high school, a lot of rappers were coming out with mixtapes of them rapping over other people’s instrumentals, specifically Young Money.

I want to encourage the artists that haven’t made it that social media is the truth.

Although I had the label of being the ‘pretty girl rapper with a lot of followers,’ I just broke the rules.

I like it to look natural, to be smooth, dewy glowy. I like my eyebrows to look nice and I love lip gloss. That’s essential to the Saweetie look.

What I love about my audience is it’s extremely diverse as far as the ethnicities and the ages that show up.

My schedule is very busy, but when I get time to sit and think about all the great things that have happened to me, it’s just mind-blowing.

I feel like an EP is for practice and an album is the game.

Hella dapper all summer.

People had boxed me in as a ‘pretty girl with followers that’s.

In the beginning, I took on every opportunity because I was so determined to get my name and music out there. You can get your sleep, but honestly, your brain needs a break, too, and so many people forget that.

Motivate myself I’m a real life mood !

I definitely come from a line of strong women. It’s not only like my mother and my grandmother, but my aunties too.

They hate me every season.

I’d be a billionaire if I sold my sex tape.

I grew up listening to a lot of 2Pac and a lot of East Coast, West Coast rap; Bad Boy, Lil Kim, Foxy Brown, Biggie, 2Pac. Super hip-hop, super listening to that raw era of music.

Being fine on your timeline.

All nature is but art unknown to thee.

Of all the arts, for us the cinema is the most important.

I’ve had a fan who made a painting of my face with her fingers. I have put it up in my room. It was sweet and very different.

They paint me as a villain, I just autograph the artwork.

The art of any propagandist and agitator consists in his ability to find the best means of influencing any given audience, by presenting a definite truth, in such a way as to make it most convincing, most easy to digest, most graphic, and most strongly impressive.

The sport is called artistic gymnastics. So you do have to be a little bit of an actress.

The art of a people is a true mirror of their minds.

A purely materialistic art would be like a tree which is expected to bear fruit without flowering and to sacrifice grace and beauty for mere utility.
