You have to sit down and kinda force yourself to do it. Its like donkey work, you gotta get on the donkey and ride up the mountain or you are the donkey and haul the shit up and kinda make it happen.

Genuine greatness does not put you at the center of attention. Genuine greatness positions you behind all the celebration, accolade, and praise. It is viewing your life as a mere instrument of positive change in the world versus viewing yourself as the center of attention.

It’s not fair that so many of the women and girls portrayed as role models in the media are nothing like most teenage girls actually are or can relate to. I guess it may seem silly to some people that I dwell so much on this stuff. But I have always wanted to be looked at as someone who doesn’t exploit my sexuality or gender in any way to get places in life.

Be loud. Be aggressive. Be true to yourself. Never worry about what you look like, and don’t take no shit!

I never did a remix for the money because I wanted to be cool with the fact that my name stands next to the other. Of course, saying no is a luxury, but I think it is the most important—staying true to yourself.

What you surround yourself with and consume, more often than not, inspire and stimulate you —- it can also define you.

Every woman goes through a self-image issue, and we can’t blame them for that. That’s what the “Glamourbaby Diaries” is about. How do we redefine glamour so we can own it? How do we stay conscious of these things? We can feed into media, and we also need to be empowered about what we consume. How can we create a culture of empowerment, where people start to think critically?

It’s very competitive. Inherently, you just have to breathe that. It trickles down to who you are as a person, as a partner, as a worker, as an artist. It’s part of the energy it gives and you give back.

Music lightens the spirit; you lose yourself in it. I don’t want to annoy people with activism in every song…But as a songwriter, I’m sneaking that in. As you’re enjoying the music that’s light and love-filled, and you’re drinking it down, you’re not realizing you’re also drinking a powerful medicine, and hopefully you’ll become somewhat of an advocate, activist yourself
