“Music is my form of cleansing and introspection, so I have to grow in order to accomplish it. SZA”

I try to think of myself as a chic fishing grandpa aesthetically.

I love classical jazz.

You can take care of your body, and it will low-key show you respect in turn.

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.
