I've always loved vintage and I never like to have something someone else has.

I think having wild, huge hair, is me being my own version of a lioness.

I remember just looking at this lioness, she was staring at me, and we just had this weird connection.

The women in my family are just strong women who do their own thing, so I knew I needed to have individuals like that.

You need to have honest things in the world. Even if people don't understand it, if it's coming from you, that's already important.

My main goal was to not tell my mom anything or anyone anything. Even within our family, we like to do it ourselves, we like to be our own boss, and we don't like asking for help.

I love to feel that I'm not above anyone.

This world is going in all sorts of directions, but I think all you can do is get people to think about things in a different way, because sometimes people aren't even thinking.

You're just always growing. I feel like it's been very fast growth, but super exciting and I know I'll look back and feel like 'Yes, things were stressful, but it was also such an exciting time.'

As I got older, I started to do it more and more, and I wanted to learn all of the different types. I grew up doing modern, so I wanted to learn ballet, tap, jazz, and African - just everything.

Sometimes words come easily and sometimes they don't. Most songs take me twenty minutes to write.

The nature of humanity, its essence, is to feel another's pain as one's own, and to act to take that pain away, . There is a nobility in compassion, a beauty in empathy, a grace in forgiveness.

There is only one way to be a respectful being and the way for this is very simple: Respect other beings!

The motive for our actions doesn't lie ahead of us. It's something behind us that we're trying to escape.

I was really lucky that I came to puberty at a time when music and politics were completely intertwined.

Work is the means of living, but it is not living.

The world will ask you who you are, and if you don't know, the world will tell you.

I hope that I have given happiness to others. I hope I have given children to the world, and that I have made some kind of a mark for myself here.

It's taken me a lot of years to peel away my own layers.

Nothing is lost by peace; everything may be lost by war.

I want to make a dent in the universe.
