“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.

Listening to Alabama Shakes made me less self-conscious about my voice.

My mom was an executive at AT&T, a global account lady. I have no idea what she did. I just know she was never home and speaks several languages.

I hate being outside more than I can explain. I really have debilitating anxiety.

I used to be very revenge-motivated, but that’s just because I’m a Scorpio. Now I’m more so, like, practice honesty just because it makes you feel better.

Every season is my season.

I have a really strong gluten allergy, and I’m pretty lactose-intolerant, like, in a big way, but I love cheese.

I’ve always loved playing with hair. I used to want dreads like Lauryn Hill, but my mom wouldn’t let me.

I’m a Scorpio with a Pisces moon. I am very critical of myself. I’m actually way less critical of others than I am of myself. I’m in my own head a lot. It’s hard and really discouraging.

I revise the manuscript till I can’t read it any longer, then I get somebody to type it. Then I revise the typing. Then it’s retyped again. Then there’s a third typing, which is the final one. Nothing should then remain that offends the eye.

Killing must feel good to God too. He does it all the time. Did God feel good about that? He felt powerful.

Words are living things. They have personality, point of view… agenda.

I do what I feel is right. I do not fear to walk on a new path and take risk.

The struggle for the vote was an effort to bring men to feel less superior and women to feel less inferior.

One should not be happy or distressed over desirables and undesirables, knowing that such feelings are just created by the mind.

I hate and love. You ask, perhaps, how can that be? I know not, but I feel the agony.

I think I feel rather differently about sympathy to what seems the normal view. I like just to feel it is there, but not always expressed.
