“Every season is my season.”

Control is not real, and I’m really understanding that every day. It’s about the acceptance of relinquishing control that makes it powerful for you.

We’re changing little girls’ lives across the world, and we didn’t even know what we were doing when we started.

Rebirth. Entropy. Beauty. Chaos. Divine feminine.

My parents are really conservative. My dad is Muslim, and my mom is the most conservative woman you’ve ever met. They’re very aristocratic in the most quaint suburban way.

When you’re, like, 190 pounds, dark-skinned, and a new artist that no one really cares about, people don’t really take the time to make you look beautiful.

I don’t have any control over what actually happens except that I have full control over my will for myself, my intention, and why I’m there. That’s all that matters.

Kicked myself out the algorithm.

I did some work on Beyonce and Nick Minaj’s ‘Feeling Myself.’

My music is touching people in whatever spaces they need to be touched in.

In the real world, I kind of, like, thrived a little bit. The things that were awkward about me at school, like being hyper passionate, I realized, ‘Oh I’m my own person, and I have my own idiosyncrasies and nuances that I don’t mind.’

In one way, I want to heal people.

I don’t feel ashamed to be loud, which is an argument I’ve had with lots of men, who thought I was too sassy and unladylike.

Just tryna eat pasta and mind my business.

Only break the rules baby or whatever Ja said.

I do a lot of strange things.

Especially when I’m nervous, my mind is running a mile a minute. My ADHD speaks for me before I can speak for me.

A mother who is not everything for her children: a friend, a teacher, a confidant, a source of joy and founded pride, inducement and soothing, reconciliator, judge and forgiver, that mother obviously chose the wrong job.

The young compliment their greatness on the number of their friends; the old, on the confidence of them.

The world is not going to fall as long as there is confidence in governments and in banking institutions and the financial system.

We had avoided discovery by the Sioux scouts, and we were confident of giving them a complete surprise.

Propaganda works best when those who are being manipulated are confident they are acting on their own free will.

The hard way builds solidly a foundation of confidence that cannot be swept away.

It was essential that I never show doubt about what I was doing.

All that weak people learn from disappointment, is less confidence in future enterprise.
